Warn Your Wife!
Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing and the petty thieves are out in force, warn your wife to carry her money and important stuff in her coat pocket and not in her purse.
Purse snatchers abound in shopping center parking lots and around such stores as WalMart. Women of any age are at risk, especially at night.
We have several snatchers every holiday season. Some do bodily harm while others just grab and run.
If you see someone get snatched, try to get info, height, weight, clothes, car type and tag # if possible.
If you're 6'-4" and weigh 240+ you may want to assist the victim. You never know what the thief is packing though and could get hurt for your efforts no matter what your size.

IF someone tries to take my wife's purse, THEY will be the victim.

Sorry. . . THAT victim is on his own!

If somebody tries to steal the wifes purse they'll be facing the business end of her 357, She don't carry that in her purse.

Thanks for the reminder. I preach safety and awareness of their surroundings to my wife and 3 daughters all the time. It can't be stressed to much.
Seems the holidays bring out the worst of the worst.

i did loss prevention (catching shoplifters) for many years, so i have a habit of watching just about everyone where i go, even today i will follow someone in walmart and watch them steal, just to get that addrenalin rush back, lol
the other night i was in sears and i noticed that a guy was kinda circling the jewerly counter, and he was watching a little old lady, that happened to be paying no attention to her purse. i positioned myself, thinking he was going to use the nearest exit door to the parking lot.
sadly nothing happened (j/k), i was going to hit the guy like it was peyton manning i was going to sack.
tell you the truth i think he bugged out, he was watching her like a hawk.....
ALSO TELL YOUR WIVES, people watch banks and atm's on weekends, someone makes a withdrawl, they will get followed.....its a sick world

I take my wife everywhere - but she keeps following me back.
My wife and I had 20 wonderful years - then we met.

During sex, my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other
night she called me from a hotel.
One day I came home early from work ... I saw a guy jogging naked. I
said to the guy, "Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" He said "Because you came home early."
My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.

It got started as a misinterpretation...He took his wife to a show and asked the usher to escort his wife to a seat and he would be along in a few minutes. He told the usher "Take my wife, please." The usher thought it was a joke and started laughing...
