PARK SLOPE — A woman’s bag was stolen after she left it in a shopping cart outside of her apartment and made several trips upstairs with her groceries. The 85-year-old woman noticed her bag missing on her final trip down in front of her 11th Street apartment near Sixth Avenue on Friday, Dec. 10, at 11 a.m., police said.

Who leaves their handbag ANYWHERE unattended. That would be the first thing I bring up. She gets my sympathies only because she's 85 and probably doesn't remember things anymore.

um... I think he's calling the 85-year-old woman a moron, not anyone on this site.

But come to think of it, calling an 85-year-old woman stupid, dumb, and a moron based on this post is assuming A LOT...

Unfortunately, an unattended handbag is always going to be too tempting for some. Personally, I don't like leaving anything unattended in the street, even a bicycle secured by heavy duty cables and locks. I have been observing a bicycle locked to a rack on Washington slowly be dismantled as the weeks go by.

BCODS, clearly you haven't spent a lot of time around 80+ year olds. Its not unusual for folks in that age group to lose track of things. Doesn't make someone a MORON.

With any luck you'll live long enough to enjoy forgetting your belongings as well and to have some "kid" insult you for it.

Maybe someday, in my eighties, I'll leave my laptop in Ozzie's or the Tea Lounge or the Red Horse, not just during a rest-room breaks, but when leaving the cafe entirely.

But by then, personal computers will probably roll up so we can read during those breaks, too. Making the lines even longer.

There was a thread in these forums just the other day about finding a caregiver for an elderly couple in Park Slope. Now who was that?? I'm getting a bit forgetful these days...
