So there I was enjoying my breakfast at [higher end breakfast place]. I take my purse up, pay for breakfast, replace my purse into my satchel and sit back down. I make my 5 minute jaunt to a friend’s where low and behold my purse is missing. I quickly go back to [higher end breakfast place] where sadly the purse is not. I’ve been had. Jacked. Ripped off. All out fucked in the ass as my job happend to pay me in cash the night before so rent, bills and groceries for the month just walked out the door. So thanks! P.S. If you can afford to be at [higher end breakfast place] for a meal then you can afford to not steal my purse. Get fucked!

Obviously someone saw your wad o’ cash. The question that begs, however, is what did you do with your satchel that allowed them to reach in and take your purse and you not notice?
Sorry that you lost your money – that does suck.
Thats shitty. I carry my life in my purse. Although you have learned a valuable lesson here. Never leave your purse unattended, and always deposit large sums of cash right away.
Always put your bags/purse between your ankles when you sit down at a restaurant. That way no one’s going to steal your shit. And stop walking around with wads of cash. If you can afford to eat at this higher end breakfast place you obviously were carrying an assload of cash, so next time put it in the bank before you take it to a restaurant.
Sucks your purse got stolen, but…you’d still have it if you took better precautions.
I stopped carrying a purse years ago, since I tossed the myth of make up in the trash where it belongs. I have a small wallet – fits into my pants pocket perfectly. If I’ve got cash, it’s fused to my hip.
If this is the place I’m thinking of then they squeeze you in so friggin tight there’s barely room to put the plates on the tables. It’s about as tough to nick it as it is on a crowded subway. That said, in the age of plastic… why are you flaunting all the green?
During my time with the feds I’d be paid by cheque and since my bank was a douche and would hold anything I put into a bank machine I’d have to cash the cheques at TD because they were the only ones open past 5 on a wednesday. I was scared SHITLESS because I’d be carrying ~1500 bucks in cash downtown. I’d clutch my wallet like it was my only source of oxygen when I had that kinda cash on me….so it boggles my mind that anyone would leave their purse beside them with that kind of cash (it boggles my mind that anyone with that kinda cash on them wouldn’t be holding onto their wallet for dear life at all times).
I never carry more than 50 dollars around with me. Now only if there was a GPS tracking device you could implant inside your purse.
like,…oooo, I dunno, a phone.
most have GPS these days…or at least use the towers to triangulate where they think you are within a block or so.
