Gee, I hope she wasn't watching you in the store and then followed you out. So sad, I'm glad you are alright and were not hurt. I hope you can find it.

I see so many people leaving their purses open in shopping carts & not paying attention to their surroundings. I never unhook my purse from cart till everything is in. Sorry this happpen. I would have chased her sorry butt down. Please park in front of store next time & be real careful of you surroundings.

Wow, there are truly some awful people in this world. I hope your material can be retrieved. Maybe an ad in the local paper "no questions asked for the return on bag of material"

From now on I'll make sure of where I am and who's around me. If I can ever get out again that is.

I'm so glad you didn't get injured. If there has been a couple of incidents, the store clerks should have warned you or posted a warning of some sort. I know when I've bought fabric and am walking to my car I am doing a happy dance and thinking about what I'm going to make, not is someone out to take it from me! Guess I'm gonna pay a little more attention when I go out! I never have them put the receipt in the bag, always goes in my purse!

There are some real crazies out there. I am very sorry this happened to you, I guess these days we should all look over our shoulders.I would still call the police and make a report.

Please take care in any parking lot, big or small. I live in a large city and always aware of who is near me. Doors locked at all times. So very greateful you were not injured!

So very sorry this happened to you! Was your grandson able to find anything? I'm glad you were not hurt in the incident and you did right by contacting the police and the store. The store is the only place she can quickly exchange it for cash if she has the receipt, and you warned them to be on the lookout for that material returning. You did good. Sounds like my life, try to do something good for someone and get kicked in the head for your effort!
