I would just make sure that if you put anything in the trunk/boot, you don't do it right befoore you go into the gym. Sometimes people are watching. Try to put stuff in the trunk before you drive to your ultimate location.
Yes: this is also very true. That day I took the bag out of the car for a moment (very bad choice, because someone probably saw me). We should do it BEFORE arriving to the ultimate place.
I don't have anything to add Babi, I'm just very sorry this happened to you, it is a terrible trauma. Most of us live in denial about these things.
That's my trauma, in fact. I never think it can happen (although it's already happened something similar in the past). Thank you so much dear papertiger
I agree too, when I go grocery shopping I NEVER leave my bag sitting in the cart, I have been guilty of leaving it in the seat when I pump gas though. When I go out to restaurants my Louis sits in my Lap, I have a friend who will sit hers on the floor but then again her bag is fake lol!
Yes, that's another one. I really have no idea: how should a person behave when pumping gas? I am also guilty of sometimes leaving the bag sitting in the cart while grocery shopping....I'm terrible!!
I'm sorry you had this violation of your personal belongings. I cannot believe that it occurred on the grounds where you had your horse riding lessons?? Isn't there a security camera that took video of the parking lot?
It will take some time before you begin to feel more comfortable when going out with your personal belongings. It is natural to feel paranoid that something bad will happen again. Maybe you can get a bag you can wear crossbody when you are out, or a convertible bag to wear crossbody until you are comfortable again to wear it on your arm.
I think the next time you go for your horse riding lessons, I would keep the valuables at home, or install an auto alarm so you will have peace of mind.
Thank you rainrowan
The auto alarm wasn't working (I should have it checked).
The owners of the place would like to install cameras, but customers would rather not to, because of the privacy violation.. In any case I'm now using less valuable things when going there, and moreover in winter I can use my pocketed jackets, so bags will stay at home!
Things are stolen not just from car... my fren had her LVs stolen from her home! She lost 4 LVs in all and of course the rest of the family lost valuable items such as watches etc. We just have to be careful when we are out, avoid leaving things lying around or in the open when we are not nearby.
Once I had a gorgeous shirt (really beautiful) stolen in a very good hotel...
A nice necklace, too. Oh, yes, in another hotel my grandfather had a cashmere sweater stolen...
when you leave your suitcase open, in your room, before leaving (as I did) pay attention: the maids can be tempted.
At home: jewels. Once.
In a club in Milan, while I was enjoying a private party, with security in the room not allowing not known people to partecipate to that specific party...lots of bags on the sofas...the only one that had been stolen was mine! Not the bag, but the wallet.
And you know, in obvious dangerous places (like railway station or other crowded places, like walking in big cities, including Naples) you are mentally ready! This is the point. You always pay attention.
In a relaxing place in the countryside (full of horses and children), in a good hotel, in a known place, you feel "safer" and that's where bad surprises can happen. This is what scares me. When I feel I can relax, then it's getting really risky.
Not even for the value of the bag but for the nightmare of replacing all the cards and and stuff... ugh.
