CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Police are looking for a thief who stole sterling silver flatware from a home in south Charlotte.

The theft was reported on Tuesday at a home along the 3400 block of Cypress Club Drive.

Police say the victim's daughter discovered 58 pieces of her 91-year-old mother's Kirk Stieff sterling silver flatware were missing from the house.

The daughter told police her mother had round-the-clock caregivers.  The daughter did not know the last time the flatware pieces were checked or counted.

The flatware is valued at $2,251.
