25. I think it's plausible. Designer bags are a target.

I have some nice bags (not as nice as hers) and the bags themselves are a target. I am very careful of where I take them and keep an eye on them at all times - when I do use them. Purses in general are a target. I was attacked at a bus stop once and the guy tried to grab my purse and run. I also had a fair amount of cash because I was getting ready to go out of town. If it hadn't been a Coach bag with a fairly strong lower handle, he probably would have gotten away with it, and the fact that it was a Coach bag probably made it more desirable to him. I was able to fend him off because I screamed really loudly, and fought back, and then, thank God, the bus arrived. I still get the heebie jeebies at that bus stop. And I don't use my nice purses for grocery store trips anymore.

Welcome to the world women live in.
