You can't even leave your handbag on the street anymore.

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.

see no matter how hard you try you just cant fix stupid.... If youre dumb enough to leave your purse in a shopping cart you deserve to lose it... MORON

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.

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.
