Two Designer Purses Stolen Out of Vehicle

A brazen thief stole two purses out of a vehicle while the car owner watched a tennis match just a short distance away.

The victim said her vehicle was parked near the Hamilton Mill Lakeview tennis courts. When she returned to her car, her purse and her friend’s purse were missing. The victim said she was “almost positive” she had locked her vehicle. According to the police report, there was no sign of forced entry.

The victim’s driver’s license, check card and a credit card were in her purse at the time of the theft. The purse, a Louis Vuitton, had an estimated value of $800. The purse also contained a $750 Louis Vuitton wallet and a $300 Garmon watch.

The victim’s friend also had several credit cards, a check card and a driver’s license in her purse.  Additionally, the friend’s purse, a Dooney and Bourke purse valued at $260, contained a Coach wallet with an estimated value of $100, keys and a State of Georgia identification card.

There were no witnesses to the March 27 incident. The case is listed as active.
