Early the next morning, Stubbington was sent for an X-ray. When she was brought back to her room in the emergency department her wallet was missing.

“I wasn’t even gone 10 minutes and the nurse was hooking me up to the cardiac monitors and she went out and came back in and said, ‘Is this your CAA card, Marlene?’ I said,’Where did you get that from? It was in my wallet.’ ”

The card was found in a nearby room. Stubbington started crying when she discovered her wallet was not in her purse, which was sitting on a chair with her clothes.

“How many people is this happening to?” she asked. “Is there not a camera in those places?”

She wonders why there wasn’t immediate action at the time of the theft when there were numerous police officers and security personnel in the ER.
