I keep all my paper work in a nice, heavy, fire proof safe. It's hard to imagine someone didn't consider the value of these papers enough to have left it unattended (in a purse--which is already a target for unwitting thieves) for even a few minutes, anymore than they would if they had a suitcase with a million or more in cash.

Interesting that the car had a police escort and no one thought about the original paperwork that actually adds some legitimacy to some of the value of the car (even though it's still worth about as much without the original paperwork, since they have copies and people can see the car is real/legit, I'd wager--but still!)

Sadly, the papers are surely in a landfill being sifted around by large bulldozers, being ripped to shreds or burned by now, after the thief tossed the papers in the trash--unless they read the article in the paper and decided maybe they'll keep them now.
