Purps so sorry to hear this. I had my purse stolen at work once , i found it dumped in abin up the road, empty of course except for one side which i had full of pins - boy i hope he stuck his fingers in there first serve him right!
My nan was broken into, not much was taken (nothing much to take she had no valuables), but she never felt safe or easy in her own home after that,the thieving pigs.
So sorry, ((((Purps))))! hmmm.....it's said that Jesus is coming as a thief........

I had my hockey cards stolen from me in my late teens. There were quite a few rookie cards and rare ones. The set that I was most upset about losing though was a set of 24 or so cards printed in Russia of Russian stars who entered the NHL. It was a limited edition of 25,000 sets and had a 17 year old Sergei Federov prior to his Red Wing days. I figure it was one of my brother's friends who took it, right from my bedroom.

Sorry to hear that purps. I know exactly how you feel I've been burglarized here at my shop 3 times in one year. I wouldn't be as nice as KK and shout words of abuse at them, I'd take a baseball bat and crush their knee caps
Someone stole my towels from the laundromat--get this--I had left because there was a tornado warning!
Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
Im so sorry purps
To me robbery is one of the most played down crime. Maybe its because there is so much of it.
I have not been robbed of anything ......yet. But my next door neighbour had someone try to break in...........while they were asleep. And another neighbour had there car stolen........during the day.
But my peace of mind has gone...........Im very nervous at night when my husband is away, and am always watching for strange cars that go up my road.
So even if your not a direct victim...............it really does affect all of us
Purps so sorry to hear this.
Yes I was with my hubby & 3 kids at a Santa Clause Parade...I had twenty five bucks in my purse ---we were sitting on the curb waiting for Santa( before my JW days) & someone pinched it.... in 19 50 that was a lot of money...The kids got less for Christmas...
I am sorry for everybody who has been the victim of thieves.
Years ago I used the laundromat and I learned from other people's experience NOT to leave my laundry unattended. For one thing, if the laundromat is crowded and your machine stops and somebody needs the machine, they have the RIGHT to take your stuff out and put it in a basket (if there is one there). If somebody takes your stuff either on purpose or by accident, you are simply out of luck. So, don't disappear for more than 5 minutes.
One time, I had just pulled my stuff out of the dryer into the baskets they have there and was going to start to fold it and take it home. I turned my back for one minute and some guy with coke-bottle lenses was pulling his stuff out of his dryer which was next to the one I used and he was putting his clothes on top of mine in MY bin! I had to put my hand on his arm and say "stop, my stuff is below yours". He says: "no, it isn't". I said "YES, please look!" after which he looked embarrassed and let me take my stuff which was only towels, sheets and jeans. It seems he was some man whose house washer & dryer was out of commission so he was using a public facility. (It seems you are in most danger from these types than the regulars who know how to act). I also learned to not use a machine if I didn't like the looks of the person who used it before me (homeless types, etc.) and I used a disinfectant.
Also, one girl I struck up a conversation with told me she always had her panties stolen. I can't imagine why somebody would WANT somebody else's underwear. I always wash my underwear by hand at home and would never use a public machine.
What an education I got! I also met guys there too!
