No offence, but it was the womans own fault for being mindless enough for leaving a whole £40 in the first place!! How can you 'forget' that amount of cash??!! Sorry, but in these austere times, its hardly any surprise someone grabbed it!! Theres no way she can expect to get it back - hopefully this will teach her to be more vigilant in future. I may not sound very compassionate, but its the truth Im afraid!
