Fun thread to read. Don't want to hijack this thread.
Thanks for all the support. I was at work, late as usual and came home to ransacked house
They took every electronic device--cameras, TV, DVD players, computers, laptops, kindle, etc. They took every non costume piece of jewelry and found pieces that weren't put away where they should have been.
They took two purses, but only because they were downstairs and had some stuff in them and I'm guessing they thought something valuable might be in them.
They took luggage to carry out the loot and the worst....3 coffee cans of quarters that I was collecting for my nieces.
Everything was insured except two pieces and your homeowners only insures up to 200dollars in cash.
Mabel was not at home at the time, which turned out to be a good thing. I was one of several robberies in the neighborhood of which I was clueless. They killed two dogs when they got into other homes....take my stuff, thank goodness my dog is okay. Was devastated when I heard about my neighbor's pets.

Love all your stories (well except yours LC). SS -- I don't think I would ever get rid of your belly bag. In a way it keeps your dad close to you.
I posted this story in the BV sightings thread, but Jburgh--it fits here too! I was in a high end jewelry store in the biggest city nearby (which is still pretty small by city standards).
A woman walked in with a ebano veneta on her shoulder. I was so excited to see the bag I immediately went up to her and told her I liked her Bottega.
She looked at me like I was from outer space.
I thought if I kept talking she would understand that I was being nice and complimenting her bag. As I kept babbling, she started stepping back from me. She had a pained smile on her face and nodded at me, but never said a word. It was clear she was trying to get away from me so I took the hint and left her alone.

How weird. I have often complimented people wearing BV's(and other bags, too) and I always appreciate a compliment, too. Maybe she didn't know what she was carrying???

Longchamp, I'm sorry to read about your house burglary. How upsetting.
In the vein of some of the other stories, I was carrying my orchid Cabat while shopping for lipstick. The salesperson gushed with compliments about my bag, and then she asked, "Is it leather?"
After reading jburgh's story, I do wonder why it is that our exquisite leather pieces somehow don't look like leather to those who don't know BV.

I hope she didn't think your orchid beauty looked anything similar to that woven pink/purple tote that was free with a makeup purchase a while back!!!
