Do you feel sorry for this woman??

Do I feel sorry for her because of the stuff she lost? No. I do feel sorry for her because this seems to be what life means to her. She seems consumed with material possessions as being what life is all about. That is heartbreaking, and it is empty.
 
(Full disclosure note: I did not watch the video, just saw the caption)

It depends on a few different factors. Who bought those things (was it her hard work which earned them or was she just a trophy wife)? How many of the objects were simply objects and how many had sentimental value? Does she still feel threatened or does she consider it a one time thing.

If she still feels threatened, if they were sentimental objects and/or earned with her hard work over many years, then yes I do. If she was just a trophy wife, the objects meant relatively nothing and she doesn't worry about a repeat, then no I do not.

Do you feel sorry for her?

Honestly?

I know what it is like for your home to be robbed.Growing up my house was broken into multiple times.My family was poor while were growing up so we didn't have much to steal. The last time our home was robbed while I was growing up me, my mom and sisters couldn't figure out what was stole.Later that night my mom went to make dinner and all the meat in the icebox freezer was gone. No one deserves to have their home robbed regardless if they live in poverty or make millions of dollars. I am sure the green with envy we should tax the living **** out of rich people crowd will probably say serves her right or some other petty ****.
 
I'm saying anything about her "deserving" to be robbed.
 
I don't feel sorry for her. There are far more pressing issues that warrant one's sorrow right now. She lost a few material possessions, and that's it. Happens all the time in crime-ridden areas, she's just incredibly sheltered.

You should watch the video. It's only a few minutes tops.

I hate watching Internet news videos. I much rather read my news.

Besides, I'm far too busy right now to watch a CNN video. Those blocks in Minecraft simply aren't going to mine themselves. Well, actually, they will eventually but I haven't gotten enough resources to do it yet.

Not to mention the obvious alterations to her face and body, but that's another story.
I agree with you and would like to add that no person should be violated in any way, regardless of wealth or circumstance.
 
The thief (apparently only one person) used three of her handbags worth an estimated $60,000 each to haul out gobs of jewelry. Shelves of Rolex and Cartier watches.

Also - a THREE STORY CLOSET ?????

From the looks of things, her losing a million dollars in jewelry and handbags would be like most of us having the spare change stolen from one of our car's little coin holders.

She claims some of the stuff was family heirlooms from her husband's dead mother.

But there was also something about recent publicity regarding her insanely opulent home and closet.

If you flaunt your wealth and good fortune in the media, you should probably not be surprised when a-hole thieves try to get some of your stuff.

Its not about net worth, but the fact that the stuff was hers and not the thief's. If I leave a penny laying around somewhere, I expect it to be there when I get back.

Agreed, but this is a problem that goes way beyond "stuff". I honestly think the woman is a terribly wounded individual, in more ways than one.
 
Privilege is real with this woman.

That being said I almost never feel sympathy so she didn't get any.
 
I agree that she was bragging about it on TV - showing everybody what she had. "Look at me, look at me," and then is surprised when somebody comes in and takes it. While it's wrong, the woman was just asking for it by doing what she did. I saw the interview on TV last week, and even then, even after everything was stolen, she was still name dropping, "Oh, I lost this Oscar De La Renta bag, and this Louis Vuitton bag," blah blah blah. Not just, "I lost 10 purses." She had to give the designer name of the purses she lost, so obviously she didn't learn anything at all.

Woman's got issues.

You are correct that the stuff belonged to her, and thus should be where she put it. No one deserves to be stolen from.

However, what bothers me the most is the fact that the news media is giving her any sort of attention. This is a matter for the police, not CNN. If the police are doing their jobs, then the media should just roll their eyes at the little princess who wants the world to know she was robbed.
 
Forgot to set the alarm?! Second, why have display cases in your home? I live near The Woodland and those folks are very wealthy but try "securing" what you have!!

Yeah, she certainly does look like it. She has a plastic face, a shallow environment, and is stressed out that someone took something from her millions worth of stuff. She is a miserable human being, and the fact that you can't see it says more about you, than it does about her. No matter what some people have, or don't have, there's never enough to fill that empty hole in their soul.

The victim is kinda hot. I hope her collection was insured.
