Buckle Up!

This is why I rarely leave my purse in the grocery carriage. On the rare occasion in which I don't have a kid in the front part of the carriage, and on the rare occasion in which I do put my purse down, I use the straps meant for buckling a kid and buckle in the pocketbook instead. It's a lot harder for a would-be-thief to grab it if it is secured in some way.
