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

Praetorian Saighdiuir

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

Yup it's a rural place. now in fairness they said they Cant access cctv systems. however thought they'd come take a statement seeing as there were **** all people there. now this happened at 4.50 and call me cynical but went over to station to find it closes at 5pm!!!! one wonders

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.

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::)

Chuck Stone

I thought students waited until they were politicians, doctors, dentists etc before they started robbing people?

racso1975

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 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.

Sure he might aswell have left his phone wallet house keys and address on table aswell
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
Suppose it's a lesson for you

Keith186

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

Mansized Wreath

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

Thank God you never took your eye off the ball!

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.

Glad you vented here OP.
Being a library theft I'd hate to see you suffer in silence.
