What the heck is wrong with some people??
I mean really, what is wrong with some people out there? Has desperation taken over?
My wife came home from work last night. I gave her the typical "how was work" question when she walked in the door. But instead of saying anything she just started crying like crazy. After a few sobs she able to tell me what happened. I guess on her break at work she decided to get a little studying in for her phlebotomy class. She's been in the class a couple months now and really excelling at it, trying to advance her career and such. So after she was done with her food she brought the dishes back to the dishroom and while she was gone her bag was stolen. She works at a TGI Fridays so you'd think people would have saw something but nope. The crazy thing is, all the person got was a $200 Phlebotomy book, her $40 lab coat, all the vials she had, a tourniquet, ALL of her notes, her tests, her syllabus, basically everything she had for this class. Are people so desperate they need to steal stuff from someone that is busting their ass to make themselves better? Did they really need a Phlebotomy course starter kit?
The thing that sucks really bad is my wife has class tonight and has NONE of her stuff. She hasn't done anything to anyone to deserve this, she has worked so friggin hard at this class. She is home all day with my son, does things around the house while she has him, she goes to work or school at night and just basically busts her ass day in and day out. Someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with people?
The bosses at her work were all like "what can we do about it"? So I called her manager, furious of course, and told him what he can do about it. He can write down everyone who was on the floor that shift, post it in a place where they could all see it, and tell them to return it. I told them I would gladly call the police to investigate if he can't do his job properly. I did place a call to the mall security office but there as useful as water on an oil fire! What is wrong with people?

I suggest you go out to where your wife works and check all the dumpsters and other garbage cans in the area in case the person who stole it was looking for money and decided to dump it when they found none.
If the bag and its contents don't turn up, your wife will have to start from scratch gathering all the things that were lost which is a huge drag but it can be done with the help of her teacher and others in her class. Don't give up. Push your way through this setback and concentrate on getting your wife back up and going with her studies.
The natural reaction in a situation like this is to be furious with the thief which serves to make the situation worse because your heart fills up with anger and hatred. So stay mindful of your Buddhist practice and try to view this situation as an opportunity, which may difficult but very worth it. Do whatever you can to bring yourself back to your calm center which will lessen the suffering you and your wife are going through. These are precisely the kinds of situations that offer us the opportunities we need to practice. So practice, practice, practice, and pretty soon this situation will pass.
My thoughts are with you both, LFA.
Definitely call the police. Don't waste time waiting for non-professionals to find something. My husband's boss' laptop was once stolen. Actually he had two stolen. The first he didn't call and he never saw again. The second he called the police and had it back in less than a week. You might get lucky. And check Amazon's used book sales (and other such websites). If you see that book being sold from your area you should buy the book and contact the police. If the book arrives and it was your wife's (she can id the notes/highlighting/etc.), bingo, you have his/her name and address! But use a different name and address for yourself otherwise they will catch on.
