My wallet and purse got nicked out my bag in the downstairs dressing room, first night in the theatre! Not just me either, 3 other people got done too.
Really, I'm more philosophical than I would have thought before - ok, despite waking up at 3.30 and unable to sleep for hours because I was so tense and stressed. I could have done without the hour in the police station too so late at night, but they were really nice about it. Meant I parked outside my building overnight instead of someone else's private space by the road, or my underground garage - I was too tired and didn't want to hit my car, and got a 35 euro fine at 9am this morning for the pleasure of it.
Now, overall, it's ok. I won't see that cash again, but they found all the wallets thrown into the toilets (in the theatre by the dressing rooms, we'd checked, so I'm guessing some other ones nearby on the college grounds or something). So, despite all my bank cards being cancelled this morning before I heard about that, my driving license and Swiss and French cards have been recovered at least, which is 20 quid and hassle saved.
Assuming they're in ok condition; the wallets/purses were described as being in a 'bad state' so I'm guessing I won't be using them again and just throwing them out. My small purse I bought in Morocco I'm a bit miffed about, I mean, it cost 4 euros but I thought it was cute; the main wallet I'm not bothered so much about.
I'll just have to go to Marrakesh again to buy another! It could have been so much worse; they didn't take my car keys, phone or the bag itself for instance. As Susan said in an email earlier about this to the rest of the cast, it was certainly a lesson. And my handbag is so light! It's amazing how heavy it was before in comparison. It won't be going with me to the theatre again though, that's for sure.
