I lost my purse on the southbound number 40 bus this afternoon, at 3.30pm. I realised my rucksack was open when I got off at Champion Hill, and the purse was gone. What a disaster!

The purse is small, leather and mustardy yellow, quite worn. It is from COS. I am sure this is a shot in the dark, but I thought it was worth a try. There will most definitely be a reward if it's found or someone has picked it up.

Thanks for reading!

Happened to me once on a 37 from Herne Hill when I was using a rucksack, someone unzipped the outer pocket and removed my purse and mobile. And I always thought I was so extremely careful :-$


And the bus company won't look at CCTV unless requested by the police - who would hardly be going to go to all that trouble for a relatively minor theft.


I haven't used the rucksack since - I keep my purse in a zipped up inner pocket in a zipped up bag. Could still be taken, but with a lot more difficulty.


ETA: Sorry to state the obvious, but I hope you've cancelled all your cards. Terrible pain but worse pain if somebody is using them.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
