Late for Pilates and $40k in valuables in the car is typically not in most people's vocabulary as a discussion point or a decision point.A million random senerios can happen where her or your family can find themselves with valuables in a car. That doesn't mean they are dumb.
Im sure If robbers caught you on a good day (Christmas shopping, going to/from a bank, etc.) they would've got something valuable that you don't usually carry around.
Who takes their expensive jewellery to Pilates? Even if there was going to be another stop after Pilates who in their right mind takes that risk. The decision points most people would make is, "Hmm, I think I will go to Pilates first, and then come home and pick up my valuables and then take them to the jewellery store." Or maybe, "I just picked up some jewellery. It's raining cats and dogs. Maybe I should go home and drop things off and catch the next Pilates class?"
I get that you want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but that is the Darwinian rule at work here. Some mistakes are way more egregious and stupid unless you have a stupid way of dealing with mistakes.
As other posters have said, good thing she is safe. But that doesn't excuse her from not managing risk in a common sense way.
