A handyman, who used his access to an elderly woman’s home to steal her belongings, has been jailed. Aaron James Scott Simons pinched a fridge, a television set, a pedestal fan, an electric mower, a DVD player, a portable clothes line, a kettle, four canvas prints, two heaters and a pair of binoculars – $6500 worth of goods in all – in the seven days he held a key to the home in Wollongong. The 81-year-old woman’s daughter employed Simons – a family friend – to carry out repairs and maintenance at the home after her mother, suffering from dementia, moved into a retirement home. The family paid him $3500 upfront and handed him the key on January 16. When the woman’s daughter returned to inspect the work on January 22, a long list of items was missing.
