Money set aside in Goals randomly re-appears in ma...

Has anyone ever had all the funds they had set aside in Goals suddenly get credited back to their main Paypal account balance? This just happened to me but I do not see any signs that would indicate that someone has breached my account password so just wondering if this is just some system glitch that sometimes happens? Because I certainly did not transfer any money out of any of my Goals, so I cannot fathom how it is that all my goals are suddenly gone and each one has been separately credited back to my main balance! Should I treat this situation as though an unauthorized someone has gained access to my account?? I really don't want to have to try to come up with yet another password to remember especially since I just recently changed it! I highly doubt that anyone who had gained unauthorized access would just **bleep** around transferring money from savings to the main balance but then not go any further and transfer money out or compolete a transaction! (It has been several days since the money was mysteriously moved from Goals to the main balance...but I only just now saw it and those are the only unauthorized transactions on the account! Besides that, it used to always still show the Goal on my Goals summary page even after all of the money had been transferred out, but now it does not show that I have ever had any Goals set up! So all of the existing Goals that had been on my account have all just up and vanished, the active ones and also the inactive, they are all just *poof!* inexplicably gone! I know it probably seems wierd to complain about this but it is a little disconcerting to see any account activity that I did not myself do...even if the money is still there, elsewhere in my account than where I had left it! ...
