Housekeeper stole NT$70,000 from elder, forged documents and sentenced to four months in prison

When a housekeeper surnamed Su went to the elder's home to serve, he took the opportunity to steal the elder's post office passbook and seal hidden under the air mattress. Then he used the agency's personal information to find out the elder's birthday. He successfully "guessed" the password to the locker and pretended to be a family member to steal 70,000 yuan from the locker. The judge was sentenced to four months in prison for forging private documents and was fined.

The verdict pointed out that on August 4, 2024, Su Nu went to Daliao District to provide home care for an elder who had suffered a stroke and was unable to walk. She found that the old man had placed his bankbook and seal under the gap between the air bed and the wall, and she suddenly became greedy and took away the property on the spot.

On the 8th and 9th of the same month, Su Nu went to the Sanzhuang Post Office and Gaosong Post Office in Daliao District, stole the old man's seal on the withdrawal form, and withdrew 50,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan from the counter. In order to deceive others, she wrote "niece on behalf of" on the withdrawal form in an attempt to mislead the post office personnel.

A few days later, when the elder went to the supermarket to collect money in a wheelchair, he was shocked to find that all his hard-earned money had been stolen. He was so angry that his family accompanied him and called the police. The police followed the clues and summoned Ms. Su to the case, but she denied committing the crime and insisted, "I didn't take it and I don't know the password. The person captured on the surveillance camera is definitely not me."

During the Kaohsiung District Court trial, the elder alleged in court that the password for his post office account was his birthday in order to make it easy to remember, and that the resident staff could easily see the personal information of the care recipient through the punch-in system; the judge examined the post office monitor in court. On the other hand, it was discovered that the woman in the picture who had stolen the collar was slightly fat, had a low ponytail, and had a very distinctive "wide, square spectacles" on her face, which completely matched the features of Su's daughter. Therefore, Su's story was not accepted, and she was sentenced to four months in prison for the crime of forging private documents. She was fined easily and can appeal.
