Do you have the possibility to do something like helping to cook at a homeless shelter? Even though it's not your very own charity, you can at least contribute to one.

What did you effectively lose? Some (8?) books you've already read?
To me, the low-life behavior of the other woman (and her hostess friend, it seems) would bother me much more than actually losing those books.
I'm not really materialistic. Apart from my piano, which is too expensive to just replace (but which isn't likely to be stolen as you'd need a small bus to move it), I don't really care about anything I own. It can be replaced, either by myself or my insurance, and I don't own that much.
Getting robbed or scammed damages my trust in others, which is much more severe than actually losing the stuff. I suspect it's the same for you, or even more so.
