So in one locked ward I was in recently I had a roommate that was a cleptomaniac (stole everything). The first night I was in the common area and went to my room. She had taken my sheets off my bed and put them on the bathroom floor because she had to shower and there was no door on the shower. So instead of asking the nurses for a towel, she figured she would use my sheets!
The second night I was there she stole my bed! (I was sleeping in the quiet room so it didn't really matter, just the principle of it all). I went in to use the bathroom and she was sleeping in my bed.
So, I was sleeping in the quiet room and had placed my comb and toothbrush under my pillow. When the cleaners came to clean out the quiet room they put these two items in my regular room. Later, that day I went to my room to retrieve these items only to discover she had USED my toothbrush!
Later on in my stay she kept trying to corner me in the room. I would go to the bathroom inside the room and she would then follow me into the room and shut the bedroom door and stand guard over it. She's a big girl and I am not. When I refused to stay in the room she would move but only with a lot of persuasion. She later had a breakdown wailing and sobbing that I didn't want to talk to her. It was ridiculous!
