Minister for police gets purse stolen at a policing conference

😄Oh the irony of it.

Hope she didn’t lose much, just a few coppers?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

Who would have thought it, dishonest people at a police conference !.

I know it’s not funny.. PMSL!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I gather they have now arrested someone!! But will they ever live it down?

Do we know if the person arrested was a serving police officer?

56 year old man from Coventry has been arrested for the theft so not a police officer.

Was he sent there by the police officers?

(Sorry)

The two Ronnies - The lavatory has been stolen from police headquarters.
A spokesperson said they are investigating, but have nothing to go on.

Listening to Jeremy Vine show today and people were ringing in about things they had had stolen in unlikely places.

A man rang in and said after he qualified as a barrister, his grandfather bought him a very expensive pen. (About £120 around 40 years ago.) It was stolen from a room that only barristers are allowed in.

A woman had her bag and contents stolen at the Vatican. There were so many examples. A Policeman was jailed today for stealing approx £100 from the pocket of a man who collapsed.

Oh that's disgusting!
A policeman rifling through someone's pockets!!!

Allira 😂 he should have been.

The theft is a really awful thing to happen to anyone, with the additional embarrassment of being on TV.
She should have read all the advice on cross-body bags on GN.

Imagine feeling all around your bag in every pocket, then taking it all out and checking again, before you have to start telling people...

Couldn't make it up!

I take a different view.
Whilst I don’t approve of stealing (who would really?) I think that if it had to happen to anyone, it’s good it happened to her, because it’s a good thing if ministers understand how the ordinary person in the street feels when they experience petty crime. Government Ministers are so protected that they lose any sense of what ordinary people feel. This incident will hopefully be remembered by her as she goes forward in her role, and will inform her decisions.

Many years ago, I was working as a store detective. My bag got stolen from the staff room! I bet the perpetrator had a right good laugh when they found all the associated paperwork in there

That’s a really good point!

My friend was a senior police officer in uniform after attending court one day she went for lunch and hung her bag on the back of her chair and it was stolen. No one is safe from theft.

It rather depends on where in the Vatican the good lady was, how shocked we should be. There are quite a lot of places in the Vatican city that the general public is admitted to, after all.
