wondering if I could get some help from you experts on something that has been bugging me for a bit.

I found an old bitcoin wallet I had forgotten about. You can see its information [here](https://blockchain.info/address/1DYfZD8CRtBQQ3kEYb261Q6aywtK6zbZUu). I was excited as it seemed to have about $100 in it, so "free money" from the times when I used to mine.

If you look at all the transaction on said wallet, you'll see that they go from 2013-04-14 to 2013-05-08. That's the time when I realised mining bitcoins was slightly fruitless and if I wanted to make some money with it I should probably do something else.

But then you will see there's a transaction on 2014-03-24, which is almost a year later which I don't remember of. That transaction is also transferring out the money from my wallet to [another wallet](https://blockchain.info/address/14N9ydxNRhDxkKJvXg1vjqS3gh884vG3UM) which I don't recollect owning. Seems like my little coins were stolen at this point, and I don't really know how, since they've always been on a local wallet.

Looks like the [tx](https://blockchain.info/tx/e661866df0a335205491f46aa9f031cfb59bd985467c1f145f9f9da64c518b4e) you are referring to on 2014-03-24, sent the money to

`14N9ydxNRhDxkKJvXg1vjqS3gh884vG3UM - (Unspent) 0.039 BTC`
`1L9Q6EFMH3jn4dWquC2DaWhWK4q4pyUvum - (Unspent) 0.00060405 BTC`

They both remain unspent.  
1L... address is most likely the change address, that belongs to your wallet, if that transaction was made from your wallet.

Someone could have gotten your private key and moved the money that way.  
Since the money has been not spent there is not much you can to in terms of tracing.
