blushingbaby said:ouch! haha....i've decided to keep all my bags at home while i am in paris...b/c my chanel sa told me that pick pockets take shears and cut the straps on your purse and grab it from you! i would just die to have that happen to any of my babies!
Perja said:That's a total urban legend... In some rough areas of the suburbs, they might try to open the car door if it isn't locked and take your purse, but I've never heard of people taking shears to bags just to steal them, which is waaaay too obvious when there are 1000s of careless people with open bags, wallets in back pockets and what have you.
