While driving to the golf course shortly after discovering they were missing what did he see but a teen on a bike - with his clubs. Dad stopped him and got them back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2018771 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 13:54:15 +0000 Sara L. 2018771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, nemosmom, that's crazy that your purse was returned 6 years later.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2018634 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 20:45:07 +0000 Carla 2018634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I worked in an office that decorated at Christmas with a tree in the lobby complete with (empty) boxes wrapped in seasonal paper and bows.

I used the locker because I had my passport with me, and I thought the lockers were more secure. Nope! A few months later, *after* I’d gotten a replacement passport, there was a knock on my door. Someone had found the backpack in a field. Everything was still in it—wallet with money, passport, and my lunch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017939 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 19:14:00 +0000 Bennett 2017939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The large knife and the cologne must have cost more than $20, so in a way you came out ahead!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>But seriously, keep your place closed and locked if there are people creeping around your neighborhood with knives like THAT one. Even though you were inconvenienced, thank goodness there is a happy ending!

Maybe the knife was in case the thief was disturbed. Terrifying and fascinating in equal measure.</p> <p>Can you tell I also frequent true crime forums?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017913 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:03:05 +0000 Anonymous 2017913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice bag, I'm glad you got it back. &nbsp;It's traumatic when your purse gets stolen, your whole life is in there! &nbsp;It would be interesting to know how it ended up in the back of the truck with the two added items.</p> <p>I had my purse stolen from underneath my seat while attending a session at an academic conference. &nbsp;It seemed like the last place a random thief would be operating. &nbsp;The campus police found it later in a trash can, minus some cash and postage stamps. &nbsp;You just never know where those sneaky purse thieves will pop up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017908 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 16:53:22 +0000 kkards 2017908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh...yay for getting it back, but wow kind of creepy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017887 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 15:20:13 +0000 rachylou 2017887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok... glad you got your stuff back, but boy that’s weird. Reminds me of when my mum’s car was stolen. She had a bunch of books for donation in the trunk. Car was found and all the books were taken EXCEPT for those by Herman Hesse... man, everybody’s a critic... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017877 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 15:12:22 +0000 AviaMariah 2017877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is too weird! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stolen-purse---long-bizarre-story#post-2017873 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 15:04:18 +0000 Sara L. 2017873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My purse was stolen last Thursday in a series of unfortunate events.&nbsp; I left it on the front seat of my car in our garage which I never do.&nbsp; Then the overhead garage door was accidentally left open for a short period on Thursday night which also rarely happens.&nbsp; About 30 minutes later, my dog barked at the door into the garage, my husband opened the door and heard something scamper out of the garage.&nbsp; He thought it was a small animal like a cat or raccoon.&nbsp; I couldn't find my purse Friday morning and that's when we starting putting two and two together.&nbsp; However, there was no activity on any of our bank or credit card accounts so I still thought maybe it was lost.&nbsp; Over the weekend, I finally accepted that whether it was lost or stolen, I was never getting it back and canceled all the cards and got a new ID.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was super upset because I loved that purse (thanks LisaP - it's been perfect) and the wallet inside was a gift from my sister.</p> <p>So the ongoing saga of my purse<br /> – older couple rings the doorbell around 5 pm on Tuesday. Man says he<br /> found the purse in the back of his pickup. He doesn’t know how long it<br /> was there because he doesn’t look in the back every day. He lives in my neighborhood but a few streets away. Everything is still in<br /> it except a $20 bill. My ID, my credit cards, and even my change.<br /> However, it had a giant knife and a bottle of cologne added. The cologne<br /> was really weird because it wasn’t just dropped in, it was inside the pouch I<br /> use to organize miscellaneous stuff – kleenex, floss, medicine, pens, etc (which was all still in the pouch). My husband joked that he was surprised the couple brought it over thinking I was the<br /> sort of person who walked around with a large knife in my purse.<br /> Anyway, I’m super happy to have my stuff back.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
