    Oh no, do u have any other valuables or cards in there - report it to the police if you do. I doubt the money will be there tho' if it is recovered.

    There are some a/holes out there:mad:

    Poor you that is horrible.

    I had mine pinched too xmas shopping on Oxford Street years ago.
    The tax man gave me a rebate in December for about £300 (about 15 years ago) & some b*st*rd pinched it. I could have kicked myself, as a Londoner I felt I should have known better.

    I firmly believe that what goes around, comes around.

    Don't allow them to upset you anymore.

    I am so sorry, ((((((((hugs))))))))))))

    I hated it when my bag was stolen, you forget what was in there, and then you have to cancel everything,

    wish I had some good advice but I dont sorry.

    Poor you. This happened to my DD last year. Her purse was stolen from work. Also had £50 in it. Make sure cancel all your cards. Learn from the experience and don't dwell on it too much. Easier said than done.

    A tenner and a credit card is the max my purse ever contains.
    That way I'm not worried about thieves etc. ever

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. I was really upset about it yesterday - and panicking (but then I should be given my name). Anyway I'm sure I'll manage without the money & have cancelled the card. Luckily I was oppposite the bank when it happened so I went straight in there & cancelled it. I also reported it to the police but I doubt anything will happen.

    It's my bfs birthday on Thursday - luckily I had bought his present at the weekend. We are supposed to be going out for lunch - it's going to have to be a really cheap one now!

    Thanks again everyone
