MAN, 86, CAUGHT AFTER MEMORIZING THE NURSING HOME DOOR CODE BY WATCHING STAFF FOR SIX WEEKS
MAN, 86, CAUGHT AFTER MEMORIZING THE NURSING HOME DOOR CODE BY WATCHING STAFF FOR SIX WEEKS FAIRHAVEN, ME — Arthur Bellinger, 86, was caught leaving his memory care facility after staff determined he had spent six weeks quietly observing keypad entries from a chair near the secure unit door, cross-referencing staff shift patterns in a pocket notebook until he cracked the code. Bellinger reportedly sat in the same chair with a folded newspaper every afternoon for six weeks straight pocket notebook recovered from his room logged staff comings and goings in half-hour tally marks entries showed him tracking patterns across multiple shifts before settling on the ideal exit window he allegedly walked out at 4:10 p.m. on a Sunday, timed to a gap between staff rounds he was located three hours later at the public library, reading quietly in a corner chair Staff say the newspaper had become such a familiar sight in that chair that nobody thought twice about him sitting there daily, assuming it was simply part of his routine. "We've had residents attempt the door on impulse before," said facility director Renata Suarez, 10 years with the memory care unit. "We've never had someone run a six-week surveillance operation with tally marks to figure out the code." Bellinger was not criminally charged and was returned to the facility, where staff have since changed the door code and moved the chair to a different hallway. He reportedly asked if he could keep the notebook "for his records." Some residents test a door once. Arthur ran the numbers for six weeks before he ever touched the keypad.
