The minister in question was Dame Diana Johnson, an MP in Hull.

I always think she is a very down-to-earth woman, and quite aware of thefts that go on.

I wonder where her purse/bag had been left.

Apparently the thief cut a hole in her handbag. Police are looking into it

My mother was praying in the Vatican and put her handbag under the pew. She knelt down to pray and it was stolen by someone creeping up behind and reaching under the pew.
I had my car stolen from the police station I worked at and when I reported it they wouldn’t believe me at first. It was found in the grounds of the local hospital.
It was probably stolen for its good looks …. It was a Morris Traveller the one’s with the wooden frame. Hardly a boy racer’s car.

When I was at school we 6th formers were invited to a dance at Hendon police training school. Needless to say someone had their handbag stolen.

I heard that at the same conference a barrister had his wig stolen. Police are now combing the area 😊

My daughter regularly works at the county court and the ushers regularly tell people to be careful with their belongings as “ remember there are criminals here “ which I think is quite amusing.
