chucky cheese games: I really don't understand why women choose to leave their purses in their cars in a parking lot only to have them stolen. Just today, I read of another incident whereby a car window was broken and a thief made off with a woman's purse. It seems it's usually outside of a bar or a health club. But today, it was outside of a kid's Chucky Cheese restaurant. I, personally, have never left my purse in a car, and if I did, I'd tuck it under the seat and out of sight. What do you people think?|||I agree that it's a very bad idea. I think women who leave their purses in plain sight feel that, hey, my car is locked- nobody will take the time to break in. Wrong! I was at a local mall a couple of weeks ago and was parked on the second level of the parking structure. There were a TON of cars, lots of traffic, both foot and vehicle and it was the morning. There is also, always, a very strong security presence in the parking area, both car and foot patrols. In spite of all that, when I came out to get in my car, there were mall security people all over two vehicles one row over from my car- both vehicles had the driver's side windows smashed out. Apparently, if someone wants something badly enough, NOTHING is going to stop them.|||Perhaps someone is collecting purses in your neighborhood?|||I think if you're smart, you'll either leave your purse at home or take it with you. and if a guy does come after you for your purse? throw it in the other direction and run. most likely, he doesnt want you. Oh-another thing. Stop obbsessing! Things like that arent worth obbsessing over. Whatever happens, happens. Life. Goes. On. Nobody has any choice but to go on with it, right?|||women huh! i dont know why people leave things on show in cars, tough lesson!|||the same reason women leave their purses on or in their unlocked desk drawers. they just don't want to carry them.|||I agree. It is silly. But as a woman who frequently does this, I would provide this as an explanation: Women have it pretty tough; we are expected to be cute, work, and be a mother. For some of us, even the burden of carrying around a purse, at times, is cumbersome. To cut down on those much-needed "seconds" even, popping one's purse down on the seat does the trick. Running in the store or visiting a friend for a few? Pop it down. Moreover, instead of carrying a whole purse into a nightclub, just pop your license and visa in your pocket and go; pop the purse on the seat! Like I said, this is not smart - but quick.|||Dumb broads, what can I say. Someone should show them where the trunk is.
