Wallet stolen in Just Williams shop

[power08]

Please be aware of thieves! My wallet had been stolen from my bag today in Just Williams shop on Lordship lane!

If someone happens to find it in the area, please PM me- I am still hoping to get back my driving licence, loyalty/library cards etc.

Thanks

Where did you have your bag? Shoulder, pushchair?

[power08]

Pushchair, stupidly...Well, lesson learnt..

Bad luck. I very stupidly once left my handbag in the child seat section of a supermarket trolley, turned away for 15 seconds or so to look at a shelf and it disappeared containing everything including house keys. I now always have it across my body. Like you said, lesson learnt. I also know of an elderly lady who had her purse taken from the bottom of her wheeled shopping trolley in a Boots. A lot of people also seem to leave their handbags on chairs in shoe shops while they try on shoes. Have been in shoe shops when bags have been stolen.

if your purse was stolen in a shop did you tell the shop staff? Did you report it to the police. surely they have cctv and could help out?

Celestial has a picture in ther window, presumably from CCTV, of somebody they say has stolen stuff from their shop, could it be the same person?

[power08]

Yes, i reported to the police, they went to the shop to check CCTV. The stuff didn't know how to activate their video system, so we couldn't check it straight away. I am pretty sure though who did it- it was very quiet in the shop- just couple of moms with the kids and a man(I remember thinking that he didn't really as a toyshop customer)..

Power08 - How are you sure it was taken in that shop? And not dropped / lost for example or taken somewhere else for example?

One of our members had her handbag stolen in the St. Christoper's Hospice shop a few months back, had it in the bottom of her grandaughter's pushchair. The staff there said that they had a number of thefts from pushchairs/bags over the months.

She had a load of keys, phone, wallet etc stolen. Cost about ?50 to replace the keys alone. She reported it to the police as had to claim off her insurance company

Might it not be kind of the hospice shop staff then to display a notice warning people to be careful of their belongings whilst in the shop?
