Dear all,

                                                                   ;

I have been passed this story today. A woman visited the  toilet in John   
Lewis @ Blue water and hung her handbag on  the back of the toilet door.   
As she carried on about her  business, a hand suddenly appeared over the   
top of the  stall and grabbed her bag clean off the hook!!!                 
 

She immediately  reported the incident to the head of security, who in      
turn informed the manager of the store. A couple of days later  she had a  
call from the head of security to say her bag  had been found without her  
purse. So she arranged a  convenient time to go and meet the manager to     
collect her things.

 

On arriving at the John Lewis  store at t he agreed time, the manager was   
not expecting  her & neither was the head of security. No one from the      
store had actually called her as the bag had still not  been found.        
 

When the lady  got home, her house had been burgled with no sign of forced  
entry. The Police believe the robbers had used her Driving  License for    
the address and her keys to let  themselves in!                             
 

This is  real - it isn't just a scaremongering story. Many will be so       
shocked at how complex bag snatching crime has  become.                     
 
; 
Please be extra vigilant ladies AND gents  (with your man bags) there are  
a lot of desperate  criminals out there!

 

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR  CONTACTS SO WORD GETS AROUND!
