Wife got her purse stolen out of her unlocked vehicle while dropping off our grandson at First Church of the Nazarene daycare off Market St. in Salem this morning just before 8:00 AM. She said that she was out of sight of the car for no more than 1 minute and other parents/grandparents dropping off their little ones at the same time. She usually locks her vehicle but was distracted today.
We started cancelling debit cards and credit cards 15 minutes after we were certain the purse was stolen and there were already 2 charges at Fred Meyer and 1 attempt with her credit union debit/credit card, Chase bank refunded the 2 Fred Meyer charges and we cancelled the cards. Of course her smart phone was in her purse as well as her kindle paperwhite reader. Replaced the phone and Verizon said that they have seen an uptick of people replacing stolen phones this last week.
Anyhow, let this be a reminder to be aware of our surroundings, especially with all of the new people in town for the eclipse gathering.
