I learned my lesson carrying a purse around with me. When I go shopping I only take my debit card, driver license and cell phone and make sure the clothes I wear have pockets. I love the jackets with the inside pockets. They are my shopping jackets. I leave my tote/purse in the trunk of the car when I go in a store. If I need anything from it I can always go back and get it. I don't take a purse in anywhere anymore. I had my walled stolen at a funeral visitation, a friends anniversary party, and from a church nursery while helping out with the kids. It's a pain to replace the things you need and hurtful to lose pictures and other personal items. And the darn wallet and purse are expensive to replace!
