Kvaran: Purse stolen from car at Sun City dog park

My daughter arrived from Cleveland yesterday morning, I made it to the airport on time, despite Phoenix rush hour’s attempt to make it not happen, picked daughter No. 2 up, stopped for breakfast at George’s, came home, grabbed the dog and headed over to Dufffeeland Dog Park.
Went in, dog did his duty quickly, we came back to the car after maybe 10 minutes, daughter No. 2 opened the car and said, “I left my purse on the floor and it is gone.” Sure enough.
Within maybe 20 minutes, credit cards were called and two had been used, both at the Peoria Walmart. One was declined for $1,000 and the other “worked” for $500. Figuring that maybe the purse, with everything else a person travels with, had been dumped in a trash can in the Walmart parking lot, we went through all of those.
A unique, hopefully one-time experience.
You don’t need to hear the rest of the sordid tale, which is progressing like a Franz Kafka story, but be advised that it can happen that fast. Oh, yes, I had not locked my car at Duffeeland. Walmart has cameras at all the checkouts but, of course, will not allow me to look at them, only the police. How many of you folks in Sun City would like to get a look at those faces? Think that will happen?
