Hasegawa remains at Queen's Hospital in fair condition after regaining consciousness late last week.
Suspect Rosalind Torres, 29, apparently acted alone in the burglary. She appeared in District Court yesterday to face a charge of second-degree forgery for endorsing a check with the name of Hasegawa's daughter, also named on the check. The check and other items, including a bank card, were taken from Hasegawa's apartment.

Margaret Hamada worries that the school being built will increase traffic and decrease property values in her neighborhood near the Pukalani golf course.
Neighbors say they haven't been informed by the developer or Kamehameha Schools about details of the plan.
Kamehameha officials say they are still studying the traffic and parking design for the site and whether they will provide bus transportation for students.
This fall, the school will accommodate 80 students from kindergarten through third grade. Enrollment is expected to increase to 128 in the fall of 1998, as it expands to include the fifth and sixth grades.
A second commercial airport for Oahu is among options being studied for Barbers Point Naval Air Station when it shuts down in three years.
Area residents Mark Moses and John Atchison say general aviation activity on Oahu is declining, and a second airport isn't needed. But state transportation officials say that's no longer true.
The youth in critical condition was transferred from Maui Memorial Hospital to Queen's Hospital near midnight.
Police said a caller reported the incident at 7:26 p.m., and the youth died before the officer arrived at the scene near Omaopio and Pulehu roads.
An accomplice who struck the woman's husband in the back of the head escaped, police said.
The couple were walking along Auahi Street about 12:35 p.m. when the suspect grabbed her handbag and fled toward Ala Moana Beach Park.
Several passers-by chased and tackled him near the park's Ewa concession. The suspect dropped the bag during the chase.
He was released pending further investigation.
