Have you ever been robbed or mugged?

I was working at Macy's when one day during my break I went downstairs into the store to window shop, because there was to be a big sale the next day. I saw a woman who I thought I knew, we made eye contact, but she wasn't who I thought she was. The aisles were rather crowded, and we kind of passed each rather closely. When I went to the elevator to return to work, and to present my ID to the security guard, i noticed that my purse was opened and my wallet was gone. That woman had pick pocketed me. I went to customer service to make them aware since I had charge cards in my wallet. As I was standing there a salesperson, came to turn in a wallet that was found in the ladies room, it was mine. I never keep money in my wallet, so when the woman saw that there was no money she got rid of the wallet. I was lucky, she did not take any of my credit cards. The store was aware of this woman being a pick pocketer, after I described to them what she looked like.

That is terrible! It is amazing what people will stoop to. I am happy to hear that you got your wallet back and that your cards were still in it. I think in the future I would just carry my wallet and forget the bulky purse. That woman sounds like a professional.

Yeah, she was a professionl, that is how the store knew who she was when I described her. She had a man working with her.
