the number 29 bus has claimed my wallet (and 35 quid) for the second time in a year. grrrrrrrrrrr. almost certainly stolen, right out of my bag.

cancelled card. reported it to the met (unlike last time, when I couldn't be bothered). bastards. i was looking forward to a nice relaxing evening and now there is all this stress.

oh dear. were you pickpocketed?
if you have a crime number from the police the banks are quicker about giving you money back if they use your card...

yeah. it was in my bag, and now it's not.

i reported it on the online crime reporting thing and will hopefully get crime number soon. card was cancelled within 10 minutes of the theft.

really could do without this. *sigh*

poor you. i got pickpocketed (or 'dipped' i think it is when it's from a bag) round finsbury park on the tube, what a pain. actually the thing that went on longer was that direct debits kept getting set up on my account, cos all you need is bank details and a forged signature. so maybe keep an eye out for those for the next few months. i think i reported it to the Transport Police rather than the Met.
