    I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.

    • I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.

      No, its tied to my belt and inside my pants right next to my dick.

      The fact that she has $3k isnt surprising. What’s surprising is how they stole it from her without having to mug her with a weapon.
