I'm not saying that you should just leave your purse unattended, but having it on you is no guarantee it's safe, either.

I think Golde Hawn said something like, "I would rather trust people and risk losing something than live my life in fear and suspicion."



I never thought Goldie Hawn was too bright. There is such a thing as being too naive! .. or stupid!

In the store I referred to earlier, they at one time, had pictures on the doors where you walked in with surveillance cameras showing people's purses being snatched.

Recently, an elderly woman thanked me for reminding her. She immediately put her purse on her shoulder. But in thinking about Catherine's comment, she is right. I shouldn't worry others.
