Stop, Thief!
I was with my mom in Grand Central, the big train station in New York City, and she’d just warned me about pickpockets. We were waiting in line in a big crowd, and instead of putting my small shoulder bag on my shoulder as usual, I held it by the strap so it was hanging at my side. After a few minutes, I kind of forgot it was there. When I felt something push up against my thigh, for some reason I thought someone was trying to steal my purse. I screamed, “I’m being robbed!” But it was only my bag hitting my leg! Everyone turned to stare at me!

Yikes!
Somthing like that happened to me once. see, i was at a park, and was walking on the tall brick wall, when a gust of wind came, and i felt like i was falling, so i started screaming, but my feet were still on the wall. EVERYONE was looking at me! It’s embarrassing, i know, but as i look back, now i would have craked a joke like, “OMG, i thought i saw my uncle in a tutu!” or “that took me weeks of practice!” and just laugh it off and move on.
Lol
Yeah that sounds a lot like something I would definately have done! I told like all my BFFS and we were cracking up around my PC! ROTFLOL , rolling on the floor lauging out loud! They all said I would have done that, definately!
sorry
that sounds really embarrassing i would nevr want that to happen to me. here is some advice look down before you scream. lol
thanks!
i’ll never walk on that wall again, but if i ever get the courage to, i’ll look down the WHOLE time!
hey THANKS person
I would probaly do the same thing except look up every second so I don’t crass into something or trip over something.

Oh my gosh somthing even crazyer happened to me once! Well i was in line to go on the school bus when i had THOUGHT i saw a big wet spot on the teachers pants so i told my friend that is a boy (but is not my boy friend) and he screamed loudly….. Mrs. Smith has wet her pants!!! when really it was just a sadow! When the Teacher look back she thought i was the one who shouted it out so instead of talking to me in private she screamed JESSICA how could you say such a thing like that! i was so imbarresed and i did not even yell it…….. My friend did!
LOL
Uh-oh!
Something like that happened to me once. I was at outside a store at the mall and i set down my purse on a display table i was looking at. I forgot all about my purse and went inside. When i found a shirt i liked i reached down to get my money out of my purse.Since my purse was at the display table i started screaming in front of everyone in the store yelling” Oh my gosh I have been robbed!” Then my mom came inside the store with my purse saying “Lose something?” I was glad to find my ruby red purse which now matched my face!
OMG
that happened to me when i was at the macorni grill and i thought my purse would look cute so i brought it with me so when we were leaving i didn’t notice that i left in the place so 2 days later i was screaming when i relized then 3 years later that happened again at noahs bagels i was enbaressed!!1
That is scary I felt like that before
Every time I go to go to the mall I feel like somone is taking my purse. Good Luck
look @ this blog
When i was @ the swat meet this on time. I was trying on pants in a dressing room and i stuck my purse on this hook. I walked out of the dressing room to pay for the pants, my mom payed for them so i didn’t need my purse. We were walking out of the store into another store and i had to pay this time. My mom said,” where’s your purse?” So, i ran out of that store and into the dressing room at the other store and my purse was gone. As we were walking out i saw this man running with my purse, he was long gone so i couldn’t catch him. Now i never put my purse on any hooks.

o wow
Here is some advice dont put money in ur purse just in ur jeans only when ur going out.Just put money in ur purse WHEN ur at home and always look after ur purse.This blog is 4 sammie
OMG!!!!!!
That must have been awful!! I hope you didn’t have alot in it!!!
omg
so you never got your purse back?Did you call the police or something? Well one time i was in a restreaunt and i went to the bathroom and i left my purse in there. Once i found out i went back and this lady was taking it. I went over to her and told her what happened and she wouldn’t give it back. when i tried to grab it we were like playing tug o war! then my dad came along and told her to give it back. She got in a lot of trouble! Even though 11 year olds don’t bring purses to a resteraunt i won’t until i learn how to manage it!!!

thats a bummer.
thats a bummer i once was at a gas station and i set my money down (wich was stuped) so when i went to pay i couldn’t find my money so i ran around the store asking people if they have seen my money, then a cute boy came up to me and asked if it was my money and it was. I was so embaresed!!!!!!!!!!
omgizzle
that is terrible once some thing kinda simmilar happend to me. Kinda. i was at ltd2 and i was trying on a shirt. i was wearing and extreamly fradale head band so i took it of before i took my shirt of so it wouldn’t break. i had alot of other things to try on and i only had ten mins. so as quickly as i could i put it down on the chair. after i only had 2 shirts left to try on my mom was timing me with 6 seconds or i couldn’t buy a thing. so i ran out after with one second left forgeting my head band. after dinner we relized i forgot it so we ran up 2 the store to get it and it wasn’t there. the worst part is it was my cousins headband i was so emmbaresed explaining wat happened.
SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol so sorry
oh well
I wouldn’t put my purse on any hooks either. I almost forgot my purse too, but my mom reminded me to get it.~~~~~did you tell your mom about the man running away with your purse?? If you did, what did she say about it? i doubt she was thrilled!!!

i feel soo bad 4 you! i’m sure like a lot of people were there!
Tori
ps-i’ve been to grand central station! is it beautiful or what?
Same here!!
One time something like that happened to me except I was in my room and we just moved so we didn’t have an alarm system and I’d seen those movies where the killer goes into someone’s house and murders them. We live out in the country so if there was someone in our backyard we’d never know because it’s so dark. I heard footsteps and freaked out but it turned out that it was only my sister in her bathroom.
Sorry
Sorry but LOL im always scared like that. When i was in New York every two seconds i was like AUHHHHHHH ROBBER!!! AUGGGGGGGGH.
kinda like me
I would totally freak if that happened 2 me!!
OUCH!!
That must have been emberessing!!! But I hafta edmit that is pretty funny!!
im so sorry
i am so sorry that happened to you! no effense but that was pretty funny. i am so sorry.
-Lexi and jade
[Jade is my twin sister]
OMG!!
That was funny. I would have been so embaressed but now you probally just laugh about it… It’s one of those moments. lol!!
thats sad
oooooooooo that is really embarassing i am so sorry!!!
next time
next time check if anybodys actully stealing your purse!
OMG!!! I can sort of relate
I was embarresed enough when I was home, and I thought my sis stole my purse that had 50 dollars in it! I was yelling at her and my mom came up and stopped it. Turns out it was my mom she said she needed to get the nail clipper I borrowed from her, and she gave me this lecture about how I shoudn’t raise my voice over little things that weren’t even true. I thought just in front of my family was bad, but u were in public! I feel so sry 4 u!!!!!
Ooops!
Well I guess that might have been a tad scary…I know how you feel, I saw a shoplifter get arrested, most time there are security people walking around places like that so your purse is resonably safe, but you should still be rational and use common sense, like not leaving your wallet down on the bench next to you while reading a book, waiting for the subway or train to come along. —J
sorry
sorry you felt so emmbarrassed but i would have just laughed! you can’t be embarrassed all the time! learnto laugh at yourself!
Stop theif!
STuff like that happens to me all the time I try to stay calm though
its okay
something like that happened 2 my friend she was little and she pressed the alarm button in khols her mom was mad!!
boo
omg same here
ahhh that happened to me soooo weird dont worry no oneremembers that
eek
I would do the same thing! imagine if you really were being stolen from and you didn’t screem, then you would lose your money (or stuff or both). So I would probaly do the same thing, but i would feel so bad if every one thought i had faked it to get atention.
~(: LINDA :)~

Jade Dog LOver

I bought one of dicovery girls magazines and read this story! I thought that was hilarious! LOL!
That's just like the Fourth of July....
I was so jumpy when I was in my backyard to watch the fireworks. I was just standing in my back yard(which probably had Raccoons and Possums) And I thought that a racoon was gonna attack my leg. So I jumped when I did feel something bounce off my leg. I screamed, and then Expected to see my clothes ripped, and a wild Racoon. But It wasn’t a raccoon. It was a House Sparrow…. - Gypsy Girl
I feel your pain
You don’t know how many times I’ve thought I lost something and it was right in front of my face
Oops!
That’s why I keep a Phanny Pack. It might look stupid, but I set it over my hip. So, I’d see who is trying to robb me!
My favorite
This story was my favorite story out of all of them. I started laughing out loud. HA! HA! I would have ran into the bathroom until I felt people forgot.
Ooops!
It was sooo funny one time because my brother reached into my dads pocket and my dad bent his fingers back until my brother yelled because he thought he was a pickpocket
wow
omg!I know all about pickpockets.That must have been so embarrasing.Yikes!My parents tell me to have more than one purse and not to take to much money with me when I take one of my purses out when I go shopping or go anywhere else.I guess that they are right when they say that.P.S.so sorry!
Wow. I would of tried to
Wow. I would of tried to quickly bring up something so everyone would think I was just playing around or something.
