    how much/what did you lose

    if you want to claim on your insurance for it you will have to report it to the police.

    you should report it really even if it's just for them to add a number to the statistics.

    Mind you I didn't report it when I had my car window smashed to steal a poxy 20 quid jumper I'd left on the back seat.

    !!!!!! :mad:

    Unfortunately if you don't report it, the police can do nothing to help you or stop it happening to someone else tomorrow. Sorry that it happened to you x

    This isn't about losing your wallet (which is awful but I guess nothing next to Dora going missing). I hope she turns up soon - I'm thinking about you.

  • How horrid ((((hugs)))

    Can you claim on your home insurance, it might be worth checking, also inform the council as well as the police in the area you were in, the wallet might turn up in a bin or chucked away.

    With compassision, good manners, kindness and dignity as your ticket you will travel far in life.
  • awww that is awful - sorry this has happened to you. Please think about any personal details that you may have left in your purse ie. receipts, notes, cards etc and stop anything that may have been compromised. I would report to the police, they may not even need to call on you but at least you have reported it and got a crime number if anything happens again in the future as a consequence.

    Sorry to hear that this has happened to you - you seem to have enough on your plate at the moment without this. You are in my thoughts.
  • Really sorry for you.

    They really are mindless idiots who have absolutaly NOTHING going for them!

    My car window got smashed and it took me the entire day to sort it out, i had to take the day off work!

    It infuriates me, report it.
