A woman walks inside the stall, locks the door and then hangs her purse on a hook, Coffey said. As the woman turns her back to the door to put a cover on the toilet seat, a female thief slips the purse off the hook, he said.

A thief can quickly go through a purse, pluck a credit card and leave everything else.
