I threw out the purse after the second unfortunate
experience, and now will only carry purses that have flaps on top,
that can be securely latched shut.
Good point, Babe. I carry my purse on my shoulder by the shoulder straps
and keep my arm across the purse. I think it would be difficult to pick it but
those folks are smarter than we folks so who knows? My friend Sam got his
pocket picked TWICE in Europe. I'd warned him to keep his money separated (as
I do) but he had to learn the hard way and kept it all in his wallet, nicely
packaged for the thief. Similarly with my pal Marty on our first day in
Vlaparaiso headed for our cruise. Happily I had extra credit cards for Marty
and Sam's credit cards WERE in the money belt I'd insisted he buy.
