WATCH YOUR PURSES!

This story really happened to a friend of mine who lives in the same small town as we do. She was shopping in Billings last week with her mother-in-law and her 3 cute kids. They stopped for lunch at Olive Garden where some strangers stopped to chat and show attention to her kids for a bit. If I have the story right, on her way back home, she got a call from her husband asking her to check for her credit cards. They were missing. Not only were they missing from her wallet, but somewhere around $17,000 had been racked up on them within less than 2 hours. She told me the whole time she was at Olive Garden her purse was sitting next to her right leg and she had no idea how they got her cards out. Just an FYI of how quickly something like this can happen. They were not liable for the charges, but have been through quite a bit with the whole ordeal, so wherever you are...watch your purse...and even closer...watch your kids!
