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!
