Overcoming loss, finders keepers losers weepers. Someone who now has your property and will not give it back. A thief to find to have your revenge, the items never found and never recovered, no one admitting their claiming your property as theirs.
What to do if you have lost property. To recover its whereabouts and recall it home, to find it and be reunited, to find something just like what you lost and so now have it again. To see it on the street, to pick it up and now become the owner of property just like that which you lost. Someone offering you money to repurchase the item. The one who has your stolen items losing it himself. Not to try for revenge, it is not an eye for an eye, it is a legal court case, a civil lawsuit if the item has enough monetary value to be worth the court costs.
But what else can we do?? To pray to Saint Anthony if that is your schtick to find the lost item, or to go straight to The One G-D All-Mighty Himself and mourn the loss of your property. Pray to Adonai every night before bed for you to have the forgiveness of those thieves who have dishonored your property. Pray to forgive those who will never return it, to not go wild in vengeance or be as angry as a raging bull if you cannot get it back.
Add the stolen or lost property to your list of what you mourn and ask G-D to find you a replacement for it. Or go to Psalm 23 and pray "The Lord Is My Shepherd, I lack nothing and I want nothing."
To be happy with the lack of responsibility achieved since now you are no longer the owner of the item and have no ownership responsibility. It is no longer in your care and this causes you freedom.
To instead be in the constant presence of The Lord and ask Him to fulfill your needs to have enough sustenance so you can forgive and accept that the stolen item(s) cannot be recouped.
Don't cry over spilled milk.
