    LOL maybe :P

    Its just my opinion so people can take it how they want. All i'm saying is be careful.


    my point still stands, your bag your responsibility,

    im a guy so i dont have the issue of bags, have you tried not taking a hand bag(is it possible for females to not take a hand bag)

    not being rude or anything as its a genuine question

    When I worked in London someone tried to pull my handbag off my arm. Instant reaction was to swing the back at the person who had grabbed it ... Only to realise it was a work colleague trying to get my attention! :o
    Gone ... or have I?

    Absolutely, be careful of what you do with your handbag, and of accusing innocent people.

  • i know its my responsibility and i know its my fault for putting it down, i wont be doing it again but i've seen other girls leave there bags on the floor when trying on shoes so want to warn not to even if its for a few seconds. i know its awkward trying on shoes while holding a bag but better safe than sorry

    If I worked at this store and read your post on here, I'd be furious. I think you should edit your post where you name the actual shop, or withdraw the accusation that a staff member stole your bag.

    If you have any evidence it was a staff member, take it to the police.

    i understand what you were trying to do but everyone is told to look after they're belongings, whether they heed that advice is another story
  • good point about the name of the store...have removed it
  • although others have quoted it now

    Why on earth have you decided that you think it's the staff stealing the bags?

    Not only is that a rather daft thing to say on a public forum BUT if you had an ounce of sense you'd know that any thief with an ounce of sense would prefer to leave without something obvious in their possession and try in an area not covered by cctv!!!!

    You honestly think regular thieves would constantly run out with bags?
