Today I was shopping in town. By the time I was about to head home I was carrying a number of purchases, along with my Teal City. All of a sudden I felt a sharp tug on my hand. When I turned round, a boy who looked no older than twelve was busily running away back down the street, having failed to snatch my bag. He seemed to be accompanied by other boys. I clutched my City tighter and yelled after him, so that other people in the vicinity would be alerted to thieves. About half-an-hour later I headed down to a nearby coffee bar, had an Espresso and told the manager about the attempted robbery, in case the thieves would try to harass women at the cafe.
By the time I was finally home I realized that the whipstitched handles on my City deserve some praise. I think the combination of ropey handles and my iron grip saved the day. I feel that if I had been carrying a bag with different handles I might not have been so lucky, as the bag might have slipped easily away. The thief's plan was simply to rush past me, grabbing the bag as he went. But those Bal handles immediately scratched against my palm and made me instinctively tighten my grip. If I hadn't I would have lost money, keys, bank and credit cards and all the usual girly stuff. Most of all, I would have been upset to lose the rosary beads given to me by my father-in-law who died recently. I would also have been locked out of my house and had no mobie phone! Honestly, this was like Oliver Twist!
Having heard about this, my husband thinks I'm unwise to carry such an expensive bag in town. He thinks I should use my Prada Messenger bag, as it would be safer.
So ladies, how much do you worry about having your Bbag swiped?
