The simplicity of the present moment is that, where there was a car, there is now empty space. Such is the fleeting nature of forms in the world of form
Nothing in the world of form is permanent: health, good looks, jobs, money, relationships, houses, cars, wallets.
When we take these things for granted and hold on to them tightly is when we get hurt most.
Also, what the thief did is really none of your concern, nor is it in your control. You have much less control over the events of the world than you think you do.
*** Trigger warning: *** It's not the car being gone that's the problem. It's your expectation (and resulting emotions) that people should not steal that's the problem.
So says Eckhart Tolle.

Obviously it's beyond my control but to say my response is not normal is not sitting with me well. This happened to my grandma and she's left shaken, upset etc. All her belongings and credit cards were taken and yes these things can be replaced but it hurt me to see my gma so shaken and upset. My emotions that people shouldn't steal are a problem?! People shouldn't steal so how is it not a problem?
