Today, someone stole my 18 month old's lunchbag (including all contents - milk, lunch, bib etc) from the pram whilst my mum was playing with my child. I wrote about this in the 'stolen' section, but thought I should add it here so that parents can be extra vigilant with their belongings.


Fortunately, we always carry our respective handbags on us, but I never thought I'd have to worry about someone stealing a baby's lunch from a children's playground. From now on, I'm going to keep the pram right next to us, which will make playing more difficult, but it seems that's what's necessary, and we certainly can't afford to replace it.

Unfortunately, it was an adult, according to the woman who saw the item taken.


Adults should know not to steal and children should be taught not to steal. We were shockingly poor when I was young and no one in the family ever stole, so I have no tolerance for those that do.

Unfortunately I've known this type of theft to happen previously... from the playgroup inside a church no less! It was definitely an adult, and I seriously doubt they were hungry. More likely an opportunist thinking there would be cash. All they got was baby food... and someone's favourite nappy bag. Grrr.


Sorry to hear this happened in GG playground. What does the lunch bag look like, in case anyone sees it discarded? Slim chance but worth a try. xx

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.
