Unguarded! Hope another bad guy won't rob her of her money one of these days.

This guy had some inside knowledge she would be carrying such a large sum of money.

Shouldn't discount an inside job/insurance scam.

Ex employee, or friends with some of the staff. Otherwise why would they know she was carrying so much money at that time, at that place...

I would be surprised if the perpetrator wasn't seen on a surveillance camera.

Why is any female carrying such a large amount of money alone?

Maybe she was the owner or something.
