Am I normal?

My money was stolen by a hospital cleaner on Sunday. The theif was identified by cctv footage. Howeverwhen they went to his house he had done a runner and his family seemed really distraught with the police turning up on their door.

The hospital today reimbursed me my money saying they will recover from his parents. I felt this sharp pang of pain in my heart thinking what the family must be going through because of his wrong doing. Apparently his mum was crying loads.
I've come home with a very heavy heart thinking I shouldn't have taken my money back.

Is this normal. I feel terrible😢

Are you from the US? If so, the hospital will not be getting the money back from his parents, well perhaps if he is underage the hospital could take them to court?

Even then, by and large parents are not responsible to reimburse people from their children's bad behavior.

@Pherick People in America don't say "done a runner". And we would keep our money under our pillow with our guns.
