RE: 5 minute freewrite 2513 prompt psychology of the weird

I've never, ever heard of anyone doing this: "maybe someone would find it and put it in our mailbox" - have you ever heard of it before? If not, it's all the more incredible you thought of it.
Oh those miserable thieves!!!!
My sister, in the elevator in a store in NY, had her purse slit open, her wallet pulled out. Didn't notice a thing, at the time. Happened again on the subway.
It's so personal, so distressing, so inconvenient.
I've had a similar worry about my library card - what if someone uses it to check out books and doesn't return them - but most thieves don't seem to do that. How many thieves would use that fishing license?

Thieving and plundering and pillaging - those copper thieves are among the worst. Thousands of dollars in damage to a car, for a few hundred dollars in copper. It almost makes me think chopping off the hands of thieves wasn't such a terrible idea after all.

I do not think someone stole his wallet, he was riding his bike and lost it. But the did steal the money in it.
The mailbox thing was a thought that would not leave me alone. We came home from looking for it and I said pull up to the mailbox and see if someone found it and put it in there. My husband said no one is going to do that, but each day I thought it would be in it. One month to the day, it was in the mailbox. I did not say anything to my husband but I gave him that look as to say I told you it would be in there. lol

I never knew that they could cut your purse open and you not feel it. I feel bad for your sister to lose everything. I do not think they would use your library card, not a thief. But if a warren asked if you have a fishing license and show them one, you do not get a ticket, unless they ask for a photo ID, the fishing license does not have a picture on it.
