Hi all, I went to Specsavers to get prescription sunglasses this morning. Had my next door neighbopur's baby as her grandma was ill (mum is only 17, so lives with her mum) and while I was trying on frames I WAS ROBBED!!! some horrible, awful person went down my bag and stole both my purses/ One contains my cards for bank, top up phone etc and the other had £420 cash, as I had just got out the money to pay for the glasses, as I had been in previous day to ask. I had drawn out cash, which I had been saving for them and other things, so thats why I had so much cash, not that it would have matterd, they may have got to buy stuff on line with the card anyway. I spoke to police, a kind woman came with me, luckily there were int he shopping centre getting people to sign a petition on vicious crime. A kind man also phoned them for me and handed me his phone to speak to them, but we found an officer in Tesco so he dealt with it. They phoned earlier and have good cctv imaging, so maybe he/she will be caught. Felt so illl went to bed at 3pm after my girls had left for the airport as they are off to Ibiza for the week. Just got up, still feel achy all over, and so tired. Sorry for such a miserable post, and hope everyone is doing ok x

Barbara,
So very sorry to read what has happened to you today, it just makes you feel sick inside when something like that happens and especially when you were doing someone else a favour by looking after the baby. There are words I cannot print to describe what I would like to happen to the so called human being who did this to you. All I can hope is that the CCTV manages to pinpoint and help to catch them.
In the meantime my thoughts are with you and hoping that you feel a little better this evening.
With all best wishes
Sheila

Oh no-what a truly horrible thing to happen to you Barbara.

Thanks everyone, just sitting and resting. Had the chocolate, but not the wine so far!!! will see what we have lol!! Feeling like my body is too heavy to move, and achy. All stress related I suppose. Trying not to think too much about it, as nothing else can be done.

Oh Barbara - how awful for you. Just wanted to say thinking of you today. You were kind enough to be doing a neighbour a good turn and it is so unfair for it to end like this. Hope they catch the thief and you get your money back. Hope too that you can rest upa bit and get over the horrible shock.

Thinking of you XX Ailsa

Hi Barbara

Just following on from the other posts, not a lot I can add.

I just can t imagine how sick inside you must have felt, I really hope they catch these evil people and get the punishment they duly deserve.

I hope this hasn t taken too much of a toll on your RA just does not t help one little bit.

Love Julia xx

So sorry this wicked person has stolen your purse and money.I hope he is
recognised on the camera.It makes me feel sick to think anyone could do this to you. Kathleen Mc. x

Sending you a big hug.

I remember when I once thought that my purse had gone missing, it was years ago but I still can remember how I felt, thankfully it was hidden at the bottom of my handbag, but its something I never want to happen again, I felt so sick.

The fact that you had all of your cards in your purse just adds more to it having to get them replaced.

Had you just taken the money out of the bank? If you had, do you think that someome may of seen you there and followed you? If so and they are on the cameras in the bank and in Specsavers you may be able to trace them via the bank if they have an account there.

Hope you are feeling a little better.

Take Care

Hi Barbara

Just trying to catch up with posts, seem to have got behind with things!

So sorry to hear of your upset what an awful thing to happen. I do hope somewhere along the lines the thief is caught and brought to justice. Really decent of people to help though and generous of Specsavers. Clearly there are still some good natured people in this very motley world. Do hope the police get back to you soon and you can get some closure.
Take care Barbara,

Hi Barbara,

Glad you are feeling a bit better today and were able to get a reduction on the price of your glasses.
My daughter really sympathises with you, she says she can vividly remember the sick, cold feeling when she realised her purse had been stolen in Spain last year.
I hope they catch the culprits, they shouldn't get away with it.

Love and hugs, Doreen xx
