Three policemen and a woman in a fake fur coat in the middle of the street with her hands in the air....I don't know what happened after that but that's what I saw this morning. Crime does occur here and just about everywhere else in the world. Several weeks ago we received an email from the St Paul City Police warning that there have been a rash of purse snatchings in downtown. How did we get on that email list? Should we worry? If you don't guard your purse in all situations you should probably worry. Did you leave your purse in the car at the gas station and quickly ran into pay and it was gone when you came out? I know of that happening. I always wear my purse with the strap across my chest if I am out and about. Generally I feel pretty safe in downtown St Paul. Half the battle for women walking with a purse is to remember to secure it, zip it, don't carry the bank with you, and look like you are fully alert!

I put all my credit cards & ID in my back pockets whenever I'm going out in the city...and I constantly check to make sure they haven't fallen out. I'd go crazy if I wore my purse around town. Another very reliable scheme I use is to make my boyfriend carry them for me in his wallet, haha! I just have to make sure I remember to get them back once we're home.
