by Diane Hettrick – Categories, Trends, (Comments) are mine – the rest are from the police – who could make this stuff up?

Trends: Someone is recycling an old trick. Watch for the shopper who puts her purse in the basket, then walks away to buy produce. Take the purse/wallet. Watch for the busy mom who leaves her wallet in her coat at the fast food place while she goes to pick up her food. Take the purse/wallet.
