The Bandits Strike Again

It was exactly 12 months ago that Lynette had her purse stolen from her handbag and this week some friends had her handbag stolen too and the bandits get so brazen.
Our friend had called at the local cashpoint and put the cash in her handbag which she then put behind the drivers seat in the car on the floor. As her husband as driving, they then made another stop at a another supermarket some 10 kilometres away and whilst hubby went into the supermarket and Mrs Hubby remained in the car listening to the radio, the cheeky bastards opened the rear car door (which had now become unsecured from the central locking because hubby had got out) and quietly lifted the handbag and scarpered and no one saw or heard a thing.
Fortunately the handbag was recovered by a local Portuguese farmer the following day in a field as he was tending his sheep and goats and he was able to contact our friend and return the handbag, which had obviously been cleaned out of the valuable stuff.
They figured that they had been targeted at the cashpoint in the area of Lidl's supermarket in Vila do Bispo and followed to the supermarket in Budens when they made their strike.
It is not the first time that Lidl's in Vila do Bispo has been the spot where the bandits select their target and remove contents from their car. Last month a couple were asking for bogus directions to somewhere whilst the other persons then took whatever was on show inside their car.
In fact, it was Lidl's in Lagos that Lynette lost here purse last year and I think its about time that Lidl's took more responsibility and got Carlos the useless security guard that walks the floor inside Lidl's shops, should get his arse outside and made himself more useful.
Needless to say, all those concerned are pretty sure that the perpetrators, (I like that word), were of Eastern European origin.
