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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
