Libraries aren't even safe from scum these day's.

Any CCTV there? You can ask a member of staff if they recognise him and if they are a member of the library.

Sh1t thing to happen man, sorry! You could always pop in every now and again over a number of weeks and see if he is there.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

If there is CCTV and he is identified....make sure to ring the cops and get him booked !

Sorry

Libraries are full of scum's children these days. They use it as a free baby sitting service when they go shopping.

Well that was stoopid. Scum will be scum and will take any opportunity they get. You gave it to them on a platter.

If anything, libraries are one of the worst places to leave your valuables unattended. They're free, there are plenty of shelves to lurk behind and the librarians have no problem with pickpockets as long as they do it quietly

That sucks dude.

I once dropped my wallet on a cruise with my girlfriend. Was the only day I was carrying it, because we were going shopping in Barcelona. I asked at reception and they said that one of their staff had found it on deck 3, pity i'd lost it on the top deck, so it was emptied and thrown down there.

Only good thing was that the insurance paid it back to me after a few months.

I do realise my mistake abi but in fairness it is a very rural library where you know 99% of the people.

Ah_Yeah

In fairness he shouldn't have left his wallet unattended. I wouldn't even leave my bag unattended in a restaurant or hairdressers.

Photocopying a book? Book piracy?

RossyG

Sorry to hear this, Racso. The thief was a grade A scumbag.

Go to your reliving officer in the welfare and explain the situation, good chance they'll sort you out. Happened to a girl I know and she was looked after.

I know what you mean in that, there are people that rob from people from the street etc,. But why would you leave your things behind, regardless of how short a period of a time, given that these people can walk past you and fleece you. Having your valuables on you at all times gives you at least SOME chance of not getting done.

Well, whoever you see wearing new shoes next week is probably the culprit.

Why would ya go away and leave your wallet unattended in a public place? You're asking for it tbh. It doesnt take a grade A scumbag even. Nowadays theres lots of desperate people around.

Ya can't be doin' that lads.

I doubt anyone would make a conscious decision to leave it unattended, it's easy to leave something down and then get distracted.

Rasco, I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you, truly am. But these are tough times we're living in now, it's going to mean a rise in petty crime like this. I retract what I said about it being 'stupid', I just think it was a little naive of you to leave your things behind. I'm not sure how likely it will be that you get your stuff back, but I hope for the best for you.

Start cancelling and ordering in new bank cards as soon as you can, and whatever else you're missing. It's a rotten feeling to have anything stolen on you. I haven't been robbed like that before, but I've been definitely silly enough to leave purses behind in taxi's when I was very young and a bit on the tipsy side. It's an awful feeling. I always bought a new purse as soon as I could and ordered my new cards etc, it gave me some relief. You ought to do the same. Not a purse though :pac::)
