A good Samaritan's wallet was stolen by someone she was trying to help.
Virgian Goddard said you have to be cautious, even when you do something that sounds like a simple good deed.
Goddard was leaving a doctor's appointment when she was a approached by a person asking for help getting to a store.
"I don't know how much is true or how much she was concocting to make me feel sorry for her," Goddard said.
She offered the woman a ride to Walmart. Goddard said the woman rode in the back seat and managed to steal Goddard's wallet out of her purse.
"She immediately went on a shopping spree at Walmart. It emptied my bank account," Goddard said.
Goddard said that the woman left her feeling helpless.
"I was shocked and I felt stupid because I am supposed to be an intelligent person," Goddard said.
Goddard said the wallet was a Christmas gift from her husband.
"I've never had a billfold that nice," Goddard said.
Security cameras did capture an image of the woman and Goddard hopes someone will recognize her.
