A 95-year-old German woman solved a series of mystery thefts in a retirement home when she set a trap, hid in a toilet, and caught the thief red-handed.

The elderly sleuth left cash out in her room as bait and then withdrew to the toilet to lie in wait. A cleaner then entered and pocketed the money, unaware she was being watched.

“Then the old lady hit the alarm button in the toilet and staff in the home nabbed the cleaner,” the spokesman said.

Gotcha! I really do enjoy a good “gotcha!”.
