I feel bad for anyone, no matter what socio economic group they are in....it is still a horrible violation to have someone creeping around your home and taking things that mean something to you. I don't care what she used the stuff for, it was hers. I have had things taken from me and it is outrageous that anyone would feel entitled to it. I knew someone who stole from people's garages who told me that "they have lots of money, they won't miss it" Stealing is stealing.
However, I wish people thought as strongly about the banks stealing or contractors or scam artists.
