No, Duhh?

And wipe well.

Be sure to duct tape your wallet directly to your leg every morning before you put your pants on. No one will ever steal your wallet. As a positive side effect, you'll never be able to purchase anything, which will help you save for your retirement.

I always have a tight reign on my purse whenever I'm out somewhere. If I'm shopping, it's on my shoulder and never left in the basket. And if I'm out at a restaurant, it's in my lap, and never out of my sight. I have seen instances in both of these cases that I named, one being in the grocery store where some woman left her purse in her cart and walked clear down to the other end of the aisle to get something, and another time out in a restaurant where someone had their purse hanging over a chair. I don't understand with all the identity theft why people still are so careless.

If it's wintertime, I slip my wallet into an inside pocket of my jacket when walking through certain areas. Otherwise, my wallet falls so far down into my purse that it's impossible to fish it out without great difficulty (also to my great inconvenience); I use a backpack-style bag, and everything of importance tends to settle to the bottom, while things like a current book I'm reading, the small notebook I keep with me, etc., stays on top. Good luck trying to get to my wallet.

i am such a ditz that i have lost my purse too many times to count but i'm not sure anyone would get to far stealing my identity

If I were a pickpocket it would be open season on the number of times I have noticed someones purse or wallet that was too easy to grab and run with. If this does happen and you are a victim, notify your bank immediately to put a freeze on your accounts and also on all your credit cards. Another good reason to not carry your checkbook and credit cards on you, unless absolutely necessary.
