It's a joke in our household because she doesn't know how much things cost. The first time our oldest asked for cash to go to Chick-fil-a with friends, she gave her a $100 bill. My oldest didn't question this, because, again, she's been raised wealthy and at age 10/11, she didn't grasp the concept that $100 is a LOT of money to take to a fast-food restaurant. She arrived back home and said her friend's mom paid for her because the restaurant didn't accept $100 bills.
My wife: Who doesn't accept $100 bills? Is this a legitimate establishment or a food truck?
Me: uh, most places that normal, non-wealthy people go to will not accept $100 because they don't have the funds to return the change.
My wife: Daughter, you should have just bought more to decrease the amount of change back!
Me: Hon, she'd need to buy for the entire restaurant a meal to accomplish that.
My wife: I don't like the idea of eating at such cheap places too often...
Are you married to Moira Rose??
I mean this belongs in Entertainment - but Moira Rose understood normal stuff, she just didn't like it! It's David and Alexis who had no sense of the real world until they lost everything and had to move into a motel.

What actual reasons? I find this so odd. Are you a boomer who cannot figure out Venmo or Zelle?
No, I just sometimes do business with people who prefer cash. They are legitimate businesses (think landscaping, hiring party bus, cleaning services, etc). I don't know if they are legitimate tax filers, but they are legitimate businesses. Also, if I'm going to an estate sale or something similar, I will bring several thousand dollars because cash is king if you have to compete with another buyer. I'm a millennial.
when was the last Easter Day estate sale?
There were several. Not everyone celebrates and not everyone spends the entirety of their day celebrating.
So your theory is that she was stopping by dinner on her way to an estate sale - where, in El Salvador?

How about home owner's policy doesn't cover makeup but does cover stolen cash, up to some round number. She's just making sure she hits the full coverage amount.
My homeowners policy explicitly excludes cash, bearer bonds, and securities.

I’m none of those things and have $3k or so in cash on me regularly. There’s $700 in the center console of my car at the moment. Some people just have cash around.
That is bizarre and frankly, not smart? People try door handles to rummage through cars. You must be rich to be so cavalier with large amounts of money.
I’ve had cash there for years, never had it stolen. Lock your car and the door handles don’t work.
You have more money than brains. When door are locked thieves just break the window.

https://www.newsweek.com/why-kristi-noem-had-3000-cash-purse-when-it-was-stolen-2062146
So far we know it contained the following
$3 k cash
Medications
Makeup bag
Passport
DHS badge
Apt keys
Blank checks
I am going to say she has nicotine pouches and percocets
Too bad they didn't steal her.

Do people not break car windows where you live?! In my (nice, upscale, but in-city) neighborhood, we get random broken windows even on cars that are unlocked and empty.

It's a staged theft. Think about it:
- she knows there will be negative press and jokes about the head of homeland security who can't secure her own purse
- other politicians have lost their wallet before, yet none felt the need to tell every news outlet. it was so quick and so deliberate
- she had gov security with her; who would be dumb enough to take a purse from a team of security in an enclosed space with no alternate exits, when for all they know, it could be 20 bucks and a pack of gum in there
It doesn't add up.
it makes more sense that there's something bad from her phone that's about to come to light. She needs to find a way to get rid of it or claim it's been tainted.
