They took all my vacation money
I wish she'd explain what that actually means. Seems like she could just call the cops, get money back?
I haven't checked the thread since but it was implied she (I'll trust transhuman for the pronoun) was supposed to stay with her "friend" and was kicked because of some drama between her friend and the bf. It's all pretty vague but it would seem her money was taken by the people she was lodged in which, regardless of being "friends" or some couch surfing rental, would seem not entirely kosher.
Edit : checked the thread and that's what people are trying to clarify. I mean the people on that thread were cool and helping, more power to them... Even up to offering PayPal transfers with some cash, which I find incredibly nice and naive, especially since OP story is still vague and confusing at that point.
