This goes to show people want easy money and not work hard for it and that money must have taken a long time to accumulate and sad that this occurred and hope it is recovered soon. I reckon that people in today's world want things more easily than the decades before where people would work hard for what they wanted, and felt content as well with the effort they put in. The family may have to move as the bandits know where they live and could come back for something else and hope the couple do get protection or run away from this place.
