I am so sorry that this happened to your mom and know that she will probably be fretting about it for sometime. Thank the Lord that the people chose to take it from the cart and not while she had it on her.

Since I "carry" I wear my purse across my chest. For the times I don't want to carry my purse, I have one of these...

It is especially nice when going to concerts or where a lot of people are crammed into a small space. Keeps the pick pocketers little sticky fingers outta my belongings.

Sorry to hear about this, but it is not just the elderly. I have gone to the store many times and seen women leave their purses in their cart and walk away. I have almost done it a couple of times myself.
Glad to hear that she didn't loose too much, though for some these days, even $60 is a lot. You were also quick to take precautions. We even lock things up at home when we go out. A neighbor was burgularized next door to us during the day and we were home. It turned out the thief took some docs and stole money out of their bank account that same day.

I wrap the safety belt of the cart around my purse several times. I have taken most of my credit cards out of my purse and leave them at home. NOW I try to remember to put my car keys in my pocket. Several months ago I loaded groceries into trunk of car and had put my purse in ahead of bags and slammed the trunk ,Purse, keys and cell phone all locked up. Prayers DO work...... a sweet young lady came along and said "you look like you need a friend" I told her my problem and she brought me home to get another set of keys and then took me back to the store. I live less than half a mile from the store and considered walking home but knew my knees and feet wouldn't carry me. There are some good people in this world even today.
