same time the security team found the footage on the surveillance camera of the moment the purse was taken out of the cart which was exactly three seconds after I pull out and drove away. The "helpful" man in a van pulled up to the shopping cart, his kid jumped out of the van and snatched my purse and then they went and parked and went inside to shop. He said it was always his intention to return the purse, but the policeman said it probably wasn't the truth. I was just so glad to get it back that I actually hugged the thief! And the cop, and the security guards, and the wonderful girl at the petition table. Ironic thing is if it had not been returned, it would have been a sure disaster of epic magnitude. The split second it took for it to placed into my hands was the difference between life going on as normal and a complete trainwreck. You are awesome to me, girl. My purse so would have been gone. I guess that's why they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. From now on, I'm taking a page from your book. There is no defeat. There is no accepting loss. There is only finding the fucker who took my shit and make sure that he has a worse day than I just did! Words to live by.... Ah i've done this, and in a supermarket and had all the shopping in the car
