Tama-Chan: Dear Friends, we are TICKED-OFF! #1 returned as promised from Paris last night and guess what had happened to her? She had her wallet stolen on the metro (subway)! There are apparently organised gangs of thieves, mostly from Easterm Europe, who take advantage of the freedom of movement within the European community to come over and relieve honest people of their hard-earned cash. Believe me, if we had found those responsible, we would have shredded them! But we are here in our lovely countryside, not roaming the streets of the capital, so all we can do is offer comfort.
Oh ew! That is just horrible. Poor #1. It makes one feel violated to have that happen. I hope that she is able to cancel her cards. Who knows, maybe with enough leads the coppers will find those rogues.

What a terrible thing to have happen to #1. We hope she wasn't injured at all. And hopefully mostly cards and not too much cash. But what a hassle reporting all those losses and replacing items. Terrible, terrible.

How awful, we are angry too!!!
ReplyDeleteWe were most distressed to hear about this! Thank goodness #1 has all of you to provide her comfort. Grrr. We would join you I. Shredding those thieves!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks....we are sad that people feel the need to do that sort of thing. We are glad you were there to comfort her - and we hope she got her cards cancelled in time!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a truly horrible thing! We are glad that #1 is safe to return home to you guys. We are truly sorry that #1 should have had that terrible experience.

We hope you greeted her with kitty kisses and tail wags. How awful for #1 we hope she didn't have too much cash and she managed to cancel her cards and the codes weren't written down. Unfortunately there are these thieves everywhere now and mum says she hates to be in crowded places now.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side is the fact that she was unharmed and could return safely to you all.

We are so sorry to hear about what happened to #1. We hope the culprits are captured.

This is supremely annoying, what an awful thing to happen. Of course those thieves get the most out of their tours just before Christmas, when everyone is out getting presents for their loved ones. Mom says the worst part is applying for the new bank cards, the identity card and other stuff that is usually in the wallet too. Oh my, we would so put the bitey on those thieves! Please pass on our purrs to #1!
ReplyDeleteThat is awful! I am all for shredding those thieves too!
ReplyDeleteYou are of great comfort to your #1 I am sure, but we totally agree: SHRED them.
ReplyDeleteOur purrs to your Mum. I am certain you will provide comfort--look at how gorgeous you all are!
ReplyDeleteNasty Peoples! They are too lazy to work so they steals other people money! Me is sorry it happened to your #1 Me hopes she was not hurt, cuz that is the most important.

I hope Tom has pointed out to #1 that if he had been with her, it wouldnt have happened :) with pats and purrs to all
ReplyDeleteOh how awful! How angry she must be! We've heard a lot about gangs of eastern Europeans using skills they learned as soldiers to advance their lives of crime. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteWe so thankful that #1 was not assaulted/injured. But what a task to have to take care of before Christms; replacing all of the stolen card, etc.
We know you will give her extra snuggles and kisses and help her get back into the Christmas spirit. Our love to all.
Oh how annoying... We hope Karma will provide a little pay back! At least Tommy won our giveaway, not the thieves!

She should just stay put and never leave home without all of you guarding her. That's what I think.
ReplyDeleteSnuffles to #1.

This is terrible, horrible, awful! We hopes you gave #1 lots of luf and biskit-making to help her feel better. We certainly would not want to feel your wrath! Please tell her to be extra careful in the future. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is really horrible. We are sorry #1 had to go through that. We hope she didn't lose anything more than money. Its rotten people would do that at anytime, but its unconscionable during the holidays. Thank goodness #1 has all of you to help her feel better!
ReplyDeletePoor #1!! We would help you shred them if we could!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for #1's trouble. We will poop on the pillows of those who did that to her, shame on them.
ReplyDeletewe are so sorry #1, butt glad you are safe. Mom supervises those thieves
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Grete is sorry she couldn't be there to protect #1. We are glad she is home and safe.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Your poor mummy!!! I'm sending some MEGARUMBLEPURRS!!!
ReplyDeleteI am SO SO sorry. I have been many places in Europe and so far...so good. My son had something stolen but thank goodness it wasn't too important. He hadn't much in the little holder..so they were no doubt disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry..what a terrible thing to happen.
Hugs and I hope something is recovered if not all of its contents.
Mom Carole
Poor #1 - that was horrible for her!
ReplyDeleteWe hope she gets over the shock soon!
take care
Clive and Murray
So feel for her. My peeps had that happen last year. It's on some blog post or other I think back in August. They stole ID, passports, driving licence, health cards, money - well - so much stuff. And they were in Spain and needed to cross the frontera to Gibraltar :( it takes some getting over, but I hope you are all helping her to feel better.
