What's the verb for “to feel bad over lost properties”?
What's the verb for "to feel bad over lost money or properties"? For example, to feel bad over a big sum of money that was stolen by a scammer, an expensive computer that was stolen by a thief, or a good house that was destroyed by a hurricane.
The verb "regret" seems to concern only an terrible action or decision of your own making, rather than the loss of properties themselves which could happen due to external causes. The verbs "grieve" seems to concern only the death of people, and I'm not so sure about the connotation of "mourn" because I suspect "mourning lost properties" may be a little too literary or poetic.
So what would be the casual, plain verb for "to feel bad over lost money or properties"?
