Guard Your Purse

I've already posted this on my Face Book but I decided to post it here too, as sort of a 'public service' announcement. I see so many ladies in the grocery store with their purses sitting in the cart unattached ~ so easily grabbed. And yes I stop and show them how they can do a little in securing their purse. I know that this isn't totally foolproof but it would certainly slow a purse snatcher down a little. So unless you're like my pal Jimmy down in Florida (he said he likes to carry his purse because it always matches his high heels) please snap your purse in with the straps provided for fastening in baby.

Hey Linda,

Thanks for showing this. Sometimes when I go to the grocery store I turn around and put my purse in the cart and I forget to check to see if its still there. I forget that someone could walk up and take it. I am glad you posted this. Take care.

Thanks for the tip, Linda!! My mom straps hers in like you do, but I NEVER do... I know I should, but I always stay right next to it... I know, I know.. it only takes a second.... OK, I'll start strapping it in!!! = )
