this is a email i received may be a scam.

 

Dear all,

 

 

 

I have been passed this story today. A woman visited the toilet in John

 

Lewis @ Blue water and hung her handbag on the back of the toilet door. As

 

she carried on about her business, a hand suddenly appeared over the top

 

of the stall and grabbed her bag clean off the hook!!!

 

 

 

She immediately reported the incident to the head of security, who in turn

 

informed the manager of the store. A couple of days later she had a call

 

from the head of security to say her bag had been found without her purse.

 

So she arranged a convenient time to go and meet the

 

manager to collect her things.

 

 

 

On arriving at the John Lewis store at the agreed time, the manager was

 

not expecting her & neither was the head of security. No one from the

 

store had actually called her as the bag had still not been found.

 

 

 

When the lady got home, her house had been burgled with no sign of forced

 

entry. The Police believe the robbers had used her Driving

 

License for the address and her keys to let themselves in!

 

 

 

This is real - it isn't just a scaremongering story. Many will be so

 

shocked at how complex bag snatching crime has become.

 

 

 

Please be extra vigilant ladies AND gents (with your man bags) there are a

 

lot of desperate criminals out there!

 

 

 

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR CONTACTS SO WORD GETS AROUND!

This is a scaremongering story, things like it do happen though. But this one is just an email to do the rounds that someone has made up.

 

Also if your bag with keys get knicked who is stupid enough not to change your locks?

Would be my first thought!, and cancel all cards as said though it does happen and seems to be on the increase with the credit crunch etc ...

Very, Very, VERY old bogus story this one, it's been around years on the net!

Similar story to the guy who had his bank cards stolen, the bank called him and said we've had your cards handed in, can you come down with some id.

on the other hand you could avoid playing for liverpool...because when you get selected for overseas game and the fixture is published all the lags will know you're abroad so come over and rob you...:D

that police station quite near from me.

 

If that story is true i would assume that it would be the west london met station that would have highlighted and dealt with case as the crime happened within their facinity and not plumstead?

 

Unless the woman lives in plumstead

Stories like this circling the internet are always bogus.

 

But ofcourse things like that happen all the time, its not shocking at all.
