You should NEVER put your purse anywhere in your buggy. It should stay on your person at all times. I carry mine on my shoulder the entire time I shop - at every store. It's very easy for someone to steal your purse, even if you are just reaching down to the bottom shelf to get something. Covering it up is not a deterent - this goes for your car as well. People think they can leave their purses in their car and cover them up with a jacket or something but the theives are aware that women do this (they all have women in their lives who do this too). <br /><br />My purses are all small and I only carry what is absolutely necessary. Crafting supplies, sketchbooks, cameras etc, can be left in a tote bag in your car - although I wouldn't suggest leaving an expensive camera in a car unless it's locked in the trunk or glove box.<br /><br />So sorry this happened to you Linda. Get yourself a shoulder bag or a purse that goes across your body or even a fanny pouch and keep it on at all times when shopping. <br /><br />(I was signed in under ETC when I made the comment above.

I don't carry my social security card in case it does but I also need to copy my other cards so I know what's in my purse if I should ever need to know. Hope everything else goes okay for you!BeadedTailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662802836032167316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324674624686188728.post-25649044416337206762010-06-25T15:56:22.981-05:002010-06-25T15:56:22.981-05:00Sorry about your loss.

At least it's a deterrant.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324674624686188728.post-76508823032302689972010-06-25T09:02:28.821-05:002010-06-25T09:02:28.821-05:00Boy Linda, you got double whamy! I'm so sorry ...Boy Linda, you got double whamy! I'm so sorry that you had to experience this "stolen purse" thing. Been there, done that! And you are right, it's not fun, a lot of work on your part too. I don't carry anything in my bag except my car keys, my sketchbook, some yarn, needles and few pencils. The card is my pants pocket along with my cell phone. I have learned...and the hardway! Once you go through something like this, you will never let this happen to you again. I sure hope you are feeling better. It's horrible getting sick during the Summer! Wishing you well and good luck with everything!<br />CheersThe Studio at Crow Haven Farm, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725745870144243689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324674624686188728.post-12193254265723095162010-06-25T08:39:58.850-05:002010-06-25T08:39:58.850-05:00Oh gosh linda! that sounds awful!
