I was Robbed!!! Repost from main board!

So yesterday I am having a great day- spend the morning and afternoon witn MIL and SIL, came home to get the hubby and older son (little one was with me already). We went out to eat and then went to Target. I picked out a few items and was just walking into the area with the nightgowns and such and as I was passing this rack of clearance items this women said to me that the bras were nice and she forgot her reading glasses and could not read the sale price. I looked and told her the price and started to move away and she asked me to help her find a certain size for her. I did not think anything of it and started helping her- then she said since the price was so good she would get some for her sister and had me look for another size- she even have me look for a black one in the size she wanted and those were at the bottom of the rack near the floor. I helped her find a total of 4 bras and then she said thank you and left. Something nagged at me and I immediately checked my purse (which was in the buggy and is the reason I feel stupid) I 1st noticed that my phone was missing- it was in a small pocket at the top then I looked for my wallet/change purse was also missing. I went to the front of the store and alerted security and spent 15 minutes watching the door to see if I could see the person- no luck, then another 45 minutes watching security tapes - no luck - we called and cancelled the debit card 1st then the xredit card - when we called them, someone had already tried to use the card!! Thank goodness it was maxed out and they could not use it. All they ended up getting was $20 cash and my liscense, insurance card and the cards we cancelled and the brand new $230 phone I got for Valentines day- Ladies watch your purse every second and beware if someone seems to be distracting you or overly friendly. I sure learned a lesson and will have to take a day off to replace all my cards !!! Terri

The nerve. There are some evil people out there. And to think you were being so nice all the while she is taking advantage of you. Aargh. I hope you have a better day tomorrow and that you don't shy away from helping people in the future. God bless you, Heidi

I don't understand some people. I'm sorry for your experience. Thanks for reminding us to be careful. {{{Hugs}}} Meg RNY 3/8/05

Oh Terrieberrie I am soooo Burned up about what happened to you. It makes you really think twice about helping people out. I am the same way you are or now were about helping people, makes you really have to change because of the messed up people in the world. Sorry again Darlene

Girl, there you are trying to do a good dead..man that bugs me. Well, all I can say is what goes around comes around and that lady will get hers. I'm glad it wasn't too bad, but I'm def prewarned... court

That is HORRIBLE!!!! OMG!! How could someone do that to someone? I tell ya, the world is filled with evil people. You were just trying to be friendly and nice and look what happened. Sorry this happened. I'm sure you feel violated. Ugh!! Don't worry about that woman or the person teaming with her to rob you - God will get her in the end. How dare she do something like this. So sorry this happened. Thanks for posting this. This reminds me to keep my hands on my purse at all times. It's easy to forget - especially at Superwalmart. Hugs, Trisha

I am so sorry that happened to you. I don't understand why people have to be like that. I hope that never happens to you again. I will keep an eye out for anyone suspicious. It sucks that you were doing the lady a favor by helping her out and she goes and steals your stuff. Luckily not everyone is like that. I hope you get everything straightened out! Take care. Bonnie

Thank you all for your kind support! I spend 3 hours at the DMV today but I now have a new liscense (and it has a great picture since I am 60 pounds lighter than when I got the other one!!) You are all wonderful!!!! Terri
