What A *** Awful Day!!

[Smowball]

This morning I went to hoover the car, got my feet tangled in lead whilst going down step and fell with hoover onto my gravel driveway. In front of bemused passers by. Cue sore knees and hands, and very red face.
This afternooon at local shops I had my purse stolen, containing bank card, driving license, money, all my store cards etc..... Get home to report it stolen, check online banking whilst I’m on hold and the thief had already used it in two stores within 20 mins of stealing it! ( it was contactless)
Apart from the sheer inconvenience of it all, I can’t believe that some people can stop so low and be so brazen. For all they knew that could have been the only money I had to last till Xmas. So so angry.

oh dear... go have a nice Baileys and open the ferrero rochers !

[Tilly2]

Oh, Smow! That is a pig of a day.

[emmie]

so sorry for all that, hard to take i know.

[sunny-dave]

That's crap smow - hopefully one or more of the stores will have CCTV at the tills & catch the little scrote(s) - if the Police can be bothered that is.

[Old_Geezer]

Sorry to hear. Don't blame you for being angry. Maybe have a cup of tea and relax.

[gness]

Oh, Smow...that makes me so angry too.....Gx

[jakep]

I still really struggle to comprehend how these beings can do this to people. It saddens and angers me.
Sorry this has happened, good luck with sorting it out. My bank were excellent when I was a victim of this, but online.

Omg, nightmare, smow. What a sheit .
Hope everything turns out ok.

The only way someone's purse or wallet can be stolen is through the sheer carelessness of the owner.

[sapelesam]

Out of order Jackdaw,you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Mamyalynne]

Truly awful Smow, no they have no conscience at all.x

[Mamyalynne]

^ He won't be Sam.

[sapelesam]

Very quiet here this evening, somebody has got off very lightly.

I can see what Jackdaw is getting at though. The times I have seen people flaunting their purses or wallets is beyond belief. Have often felt like tapping their arm to let them know how stupid they are being by leaving their money on virtual 'offer'. Very few thieves ever show any sense of remorse or guilt and chose their victims without thought of consequence. The moral of the story is to take responsibility for our own actions.

[Smowball]

Sorry - my internet went after I posted. Yes I’ve got the EXACT times and amounts of the transactions so both stores are going to check their CCTV and I’ve also reported it to the police. Am still seething.

[sapelesam]

Choux, there is a big difference between thinking that people can be careless, and saying it to someone still raw from the experience.

[choux]

Indeed, but I hope Jackdaw's post might resonate with others to save them the same fate.

[sapelesam]

Hi Smow, glad you're back, so sorry about your lousy day.

[sapelesam]

I agree Choux, but there are ways of saying it without being so critical.

[Smowball]

Jackdaw it was in my coat pocket! Have you never heard of pickpockets??
