We should not blame the victim. As far as insurance claims you need proof for everything including receipts. My wife had some valuables stolen from a locked vehicle and the paperwork was like an audit from the IRS. Like my wife, She will not get what she lost back in monetary terms at all. The system works against her. Please have some compassion for this THEFT. My heart goes out to her. People who say let this be a lesson to learn, I can only hope they do not have to learn a lesson like this where they true are victimized by mankind. We who have so much of life experiences and so called education of hard knocks, need to not lose are compassion, understanding, and caring for our fellow mankind. Just put your self in the others shoes before you blame. I am as guilty of this as the rest of us if not more because of being opinionated.

I don't think that there is a one here that does not feel for this lady. She has to be totally devastated. Most seem to just be reminding us all that we no longer live in a world, including TV, in which we can be so trusting as in days of old. I remember the days when the only time you ever locked a door was if you were leaving town for an extended time and you only shut the windows to keep out the rain or the dust from the major dust storms we would sometimes have.
