Something else to consider: your "very elderly neighbor" may be becoming confused by dementia or Alzheimer"s disease. Unfortunately I have seen this happen with my Grandmother and both my Mother and my wife"s Mother, as they got old. With both of them their claims that things were stolen were some of the first signs that their minds were going down hill.
Obviously, I could be wrong. But unless you are familiar with your neighbor actually having the items, and you have seen that they are now gone and not just misplaced somewhere, I would be very careful about accusing someone of taking them.
Securing the buildings is a great idea, as then if there are further problems, you might be able to confirm that a break-in occurred. Some sort of camera might also be able to show if anything is really happening, and might lead to an arrest. It is kind of you to help your neighbor, but do not keep keys to his buildings, as there might be a chance that YOU will become his "suspect".
If your neighbor has family, you might want to talk to them about the alleged thefts. If the thefts are actually happening, the family should know about them, and if any of them are involved, then they would hear that someone else is paying attention to the elderly neighbor, and it might deter future removals. Or it might be approaching the time that your neighbor needs to be taken care of more.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
