I gave my money to my companion (around 5000 gold).
A few in game hours later I tried to get it back but my companion only had 500 gold on him.
What does that mean? Where's my gold?
Edit: the purpose of giving gold to my mate is because I give him all the misc items to keep my inventory organized.

For saving purposes, you're better off buying the cheapest house you can find and stashing your gold in a chest inside. Anything stored outside of your house (including on a body) will vanish over time as people "find" the item. Anything stored in your house is exempt from this vanishing act.
