    it's funny how this thread has turned into "its your fault for x y and z" kind of a kin to blaming the girl who gets assaulted cause she was asking for due to clothes or being drunk etc

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

    Thieves are opportunists.

    I hope they catch him and throw the book at him!
    Could you have paged the cops to come over?

    OP, take a leaf out of my book and never leave your wallet unattended.
    My mother used to give me chapter and verse about doing that.

    Maybe bank account details aswell
    Your own fault mate
    In these times you'd have to be but slow to leave a wallet on a table unattended

    Moral of the story is always turn your phone off in the library!

    Report to cops, being proof of this to local SWO and perhaps she'll reimburse you.

    OP, I dont think Karma is good enough for the maggot that stole from you. I hope you have someone to help you throughout the coming week.

    Leaving things unattended in a city library would be asking for sh1t to happen. But op said that it happen in a rurul area. You just wouldn't expect something like that to happen in a small rural place. I'm forever leaving my bits unattended and it doesn't happen but this thread is a warning to me. Cheers.

    Which reminds me. I saw a lovely handbag, that I fell in love with in the shop and I really like it but it has short handles. I go for handbags that have a long handle so I can wear it across my body, so the bag can't be swiped from me. I really like the bag with the short handles and I would like to get it, but I won't be able to wear it across my body because the handles are too short and I'm thinking that if I buy the bag and use it, I'm asking to be robbed. It's going to easily swipable.

    What do you think? I really like the bag.

    They had to shut the toilets in the one in Carlow town because the junkies were going in there and shooting up.

    I'd take a guess it was Clonmel, That theft was like something a junkie would do and Clonmel is full of them and its library has had thefts before. I hope whoever done it overdoses on the stuff.

    in other news , WTF are scum doing in library ? i thought it was like vampires and hallowed ground .

    Thats akin to saying you can leave your wallet unattended in mass or at a graveyard etc, there are NO off limit areas these days, and scum pop up everywhere from fancy shops to gyms and libraries. Golden rule, never ever leave your wallet alone for a second, no matter where you are. And the thing is you also have to be careful when sifting through your wallet in a shop queue as well, who knows who may be watching you and you could find yourself being followed to a quiet area where they will try and mug you or even to a library where you might leave your wallet alone for a second or two. Best of luck with the CCTV, OP.

    If you hadn't left there wallet unattended the thieve won't have had a chance to steal it. The majority of theft is opportunistic, you gave them the opportunity. Insurance companies, in the majority of cases, don't pay out if your car is stolen with the keys.

    Comparing leaving a wallet unattended to assault is pushing it a bit.

    When I was young my relations down the country used to never lock their doors, left the keys in the car. Thieves found out that rural places where easy to steal from as people didn't secure their property. Now every house is locked up and cars are alarmed and sheds secured.

    Why should I reimburse the OP for their stupidity nievity?

    If I loose my money I can't ask the tax payer to refund me, what makes social welfare different?

    You came to the wrong place though because people are just gonna make fun of the situation. Wait until it happens to them and they'll know what it feels like.

    Screw that. Take justice into your own hands, Batman style. That'll learn them.
