Mornin' SM!I love this picture cuz I can just imagine what you must have gone through to get this shot.
Were there people looking at you?
I get shy of taking bag pics when there are people around.
It's funny you mention this because you are so right!
I wasn't worried about people looking at me. After all the airport gate pictures with lots of people looking and probably wondering why I'm doing a photo shoot with my carry-on bags, and after all the SF street pictures (you should have seen the people on the cable car looking at me), I don't care about people looking. I'm still hoping one day someone will ask me if I'm taking pictures for the Purse Forum. But this picture was hard to shoot because I had to back away from it, far enough for someone to run pass and grab it. I usually take my wallet out first and my keys are in my jacket pocket, but I didn't realize until I was trying to get the bag and the "Happy Lunar New Year" sign that I had to keep backing up. (Thus, why the "r" is cut off at the end of year. 
) I was trying to take the picture as quickly as I could and watch for people getting too close, when a male voice walking toward me from behind said, "Nice bag!" I jumped and turned and saw it was a mall security person, so I just smiled and said thank you! He was smiling but from his somewhat sarcastic tone I'm not sure if he was really trying to tell me to be careful with my bag. (Side-note: I was at this same mall last summer, one level down at Ghirardelli. I sat my phone on the counter to buy a bottle of water. In that short time some people came over to the counter, then left. I was in a hurry to catch a bus so I wasn't really paying attention. It wasn't until I was looking for my phone to check the bus schedule that I realized it was gone! )
Oh my gosh! I remember the time when you lost your phone! This happened to a friend of mine too. At a coffee shop, he left his phone on the counter for a split second and it was gone!Mornin' SM!

I think the mall security was trying to warn you to be careful in a non threatening way.
In any case, I'm glad your purse pic adventure went smoothly!
Safety first. Always!
It's crazy how quickly people can grab things! My sister's friend was sitting outside a local corner cafe working on her Mac. She said she literally had her fingers on the keyboard typing, when someone reached from behind her grabbed her Mac and ran to a waiting car! You have to be careful anytime you're out and about!Oh my gosh! I remember the time when you lost your phone! This happened to a friend of mine too.

Yes, I agree. I think he was trying to warn me to be careful! Thanks! I'm glad it went smoothly too!
Sorry to hear your phone was stolen RN! I thought people didn't steal phones anymore because of the security features prevented people from using others phones?Mornin' SM!

Thanks ATB!
That's what I thought. I thought I must have lost it because what would they do with my phone? Both times when I asked a security person to check if someone turned in a phone they looked at me like, "Are you serious?" And when they called Lost & Found and asked, the person on the other end of the walkie talkie, said, "A phone? No!" Someone told me they hope you didn't lock your phone and they get whatever info they can, or they take your sim card out and use/sell your phone.
I hope you immediately called your phone carrier and had them deactivate it?
They take the SIM card out and sell your phone? Geez the criminal mindThanks ATB!
There is an AT&T store right across the street from Westfield SF. I walked over and, I can't remember what they called it, but they [locked] my phone number until I got a new phone.
