We often read of elderly ladies having their handbags snatched. When are they going to learn to keep bags and purses out of sight and in a safe place?

A small bag worn around the waist, as used by cyclists and walkers, would be so much safer and could be kept under a coat. Please, ladies, do the sensible thing and keep your belongings where they should be, in your own safekeeping.
