  • You can get little bells that the police hand out so as if anyone tries to open your bag u would hear them.Also a cat bell would probably do the trick.

    Update
    The ladies have been bailed until 18 March on charges of 5 counts of purse snatching and 2 of theft from a shop (shoplifting).
    There is 'insufficient evidence' to charge them with attempted theft (ie trying to pinch my purse). Presume they denied it so my word against theirs...
    I'm happy with that as I won't have to go to court!
    All praise to the Card factory staff, through, without whom they might not have been apprehended.

    What's the nationality got to do with the price of fish ?

    Just hope they were English fish, there's to many of these foreign fish being allowed in the country.

    Like another poster has stated on here i fear for the outcome of the case,i can see that they will get away with a slap on the proverbial wrist and sent on there merry way to target other less fortunates.

    Good on the card staff,although it may not warrant an award for bravery! the Police should write to them thanking them for there quick actions.

    Bet they dont though.
