I'm trying as you are to get inside her head, and I think if I were holding a huge quantity of drugs fronted to me and my pals by a gang lord, and then if those drugs were stolen, I might "clean" my living space and call the cops to report a robbery.
That way, if I ever come face to face with gang enforcers asking me where the drugs are, rather than being instantly killed for being empty-handed, I at least have a 1-in-1000 chance of survival if I can credibly state (with backup documentation and maybe even some media reports) that my place was robbed while I was in possession of the stuff. "Hey, I want it back as much as you do, but as you can see, the cops are looking for this (fill in the blank name) fellow who robbed me. I'm a victim! He has your drugs. The last thing I wanted was to invite cops into my house, believe me, but at least now we know who did the deed. Please let me help you find the drugs. I know where those guys live and hang out, so let's go over there together and recover the goods. And by the way, don't kill me please. I got ripped off by these punks the same as you did. We're both victims here. And, oh by the way, did I already say please don't kill me?"
The police report that says "Robbery" at the top of it (her copy) would be the only slim hope she'd have of living if push came to shove. At least it's better than nothing.
Just sort of thinking out loud here.
