Mate we all make mistakes and it is fair enough to express it. The title of your thread led me to believe this would be a tale of a hold-up on the street is all, I think people goad the tone rather than the good intentions.
I am sorry for your loss but don't take these comments so personally. I think the majority of people use the HUBB to share relevant travel info and griping about experiences should kind of be marked as such. As emotive as a loss can be I think we all have experiences of acting naively and getting rolled about it. I myself had a bag stolen checking into a hotel room and still get embarrassed and angry over it. I don't know if I would communicate 'looking after your luggage even when the recptionist is good looking' as fellow-traveller advice though!
I hope you get your $500 worth, then give her a lift down Ruta 40 and make her walk back...
