In the process of moving, I must have left my car unlocked and someone helped themselves to so money that I had in there (Yup, I learned my lesson - no more leaving money in the car!). Its funny because there was other stuff in my car as well - some jewelry, my passport, etc. but all they took was the cash. While I feel violated - I also feel thankful that they just took the money and left the valuable stuff. In terms of money - the cash was probably more valuable then what they didn't take, but its replaceable, the other stuff- well that would have been a nightmare and while not valuable - I'd have hated to have had my stuff stolen as most of it has memories attached and was given to me by special people who have touched my life. And at least with the car being unlocked all my windows are still in there. For me its a reminder that not all people are to be trusted. Also, I'm lucky because I can say - its only money and move on to always double-check the locks. Its sad that this is this is the world me live it, but then again I think its always been that way.
I'm going to hope that this was someone who was really down on their luck and need money for food and rent. Also, Karma's a pain and what goes around comes around.
This of course happens in the middle of my quest to let go of things, reduce, and simply. I guess I needed to let go of some money and be reminded that I am truly blessed because I have enough to let go. In the future, I'd like to be in-charge of the letting go and the picking who it goes to though.
