Yikes, this gal better run for the hills (not the ones that ‘have eyes’) because this article has gotten into the hands of the wrong crowd. Seems that all ladies and gents do not feel the same about handbags as many of us. And I thought we were normal?! ❗

I SKULKED around the purse section at Marshalls.

I peered through racks of leather straps willing a woman nearby to put down my purse. She had nine purses in her cart. How come she had to pick up mine?

It wasn’t exactly my purse. Yet. But I saw that red bag three days before and I didn’t buy it because I was worried that it wasn’t red enough, or that it wasn’t big enough, and I wasn’t really committed to buying a purse yet anyway, and I thought $48 was too much to spend for a purse, or maybe $48 wasn’t enough to spend on a purse.

While it really is disturbing that anyone wants to steal from any place, the handbag lovers hate to hear that a store close to their heart is targeted.

Sledgehammer-wielding thieves made off with designer clothing and leathergoods after they smashed their way into Sydney’s Louis Vuitton store this morning, police say.

The gang of four men hammered a metre-high hole in a side window on the King Street side of the designer outlet, near Castlereagh Street, about 2.50am.

The bandits hurled 20 to 30 blows into the strengthened glass before breaking through, a security guard who was passing the store told police.

The men then squeezed through the jagged gap in the window, spending about six minutes inside before fleeing the scene in a white Subaru.

Police said the thieves netted a quantity of the exclusive clothing and leathergoods stocked by the store, but exact losses were still being tallied.
