Gilbert Jackson, a 67 year old blind man who resides in Florida, is the owner of a few exquisite and valuable art pieces. One of those works is an art piece by Op artist Victor Vasarely, which is reportedly worth somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000- $35,000 alone. Jackson's caretaker, Maureen Stuteville, is accused of stealing that particular art piece, along with others and then selling them off to local antique galleries. As soon as Jackson noticed the piece had been put out of place, his friends found receipts from a local antique gallery tracing to Stuteville's name. The owner of the gallery stated that the woman came in regularly, trying to receive as much money from the paintings as she could. She told the owner that the money was to pay off for her mouth cancer treatments and to put her father in a retirement home.
