I truly think you friend's experience was not the norm. I've heard too many stories where something of value was found and returned fully intact; not just here, but even in San Francisco. Even so, I was surprised to hear that this happened here.
Now, why would you automatically blame the staff? It would be much easier for a customer to go into a purse than a staff member. As was said, not all Villagers are honest and we do get visitors from other areas. To assume it was an employee is, to me, just wrong.
