Do you leave your purse/wallet in the car?

I gave you a + rating. How come you only got a 4 star?

Thanks! I got 3 stars yesterday. The upgrade was fast.

I have one but I only connect it when I'm using it. I usually keep it in the house unless I am using it to drive out of town... I'm good within about a 20 mile radius of my house, beyond that I like to have a little insurance against getting lost. I am pretty directionally challenged, don't ever tell me east or west, I'll probably drive SOUTH for 12 miles before I have any idea I'm not going on the right axis!

I hope it is on a chain. If the wallet falls out of your pocket or some pick pocket targets you, your whole life is in that wallet, the money is the least of your worries. It is your credit cards and identity that is valuable too.

No chain for me. If anyone thinks they can actually get my wallet out of my pocket without me knowing, I wish them good luck. My wallet is fat and even I often have trouble getting it out of my pocket They wouldn't get much with my identity, I have terrible credit and don't know anyone dumb enough to give me any more

Hehehe... you know, I seem to notice that men carry a wallet in their back pocket and women just carry a wallet in a purse, diaper bag, or in conjuction with a planner (that has a pocket for a wallet and cell phone). I don't think I have ever carried a wallet in my pocket, I keep very little in my pockets, if anything, which is why I'm always shocked and over the moon if I stick my hands in a pocket of something before I toss it in the laundry and discover ten bucks or a coupon for a free lunch or whatever!

The only reason I have left my purse in the trunk rather than inside the car is that it is then hidden. Nobody prowling, deciding which car in a lot to break into would necessarily know there was a purse in the trunk, whereas if someone just left a purse on the seat or on the floor - it would be automatic for a thief to notice and maybe decide on THAT car, maybe coupled with noticing no internal alarm so there would be nothing to alert the car owner. Also, if I leave my car unattended, I always lock it, meaning all my keys are on ME.

It annoys me that people go around stealing from others instead of doing whatever they need to/should do in order to accomplish it themselves. Either way, SOMEBODY is doing the work to attain the goal - unless someone is born into money or wins the lotto, know what I mean? Some of this is victim mentality, or entitled mentality, both of which are LEARNED behaviors and both very negative. I feel that we all enter this world equally - with nothing, and it is truly up to each of us to accomplish things. We aren't OWED anything by anybody, and we are not deserving above what we have courtesy of our parents or other people, or what we attain through the connections or bonds we make. I don't understand the people who go about grumbling about being poor because they were born that way, or people who think they are better simply because their grandparents are rich and so by default their parents are rich. Even my own kids have befuddled me by saying things like 'I'm well off' because even if we WERE, that doesn't mean they are.. lol. I have since discovered they have some really warped ideas about the concept of that too, especially since the economic downturn that has been happening.

I have a few cds in my car too, and I used to have a stroller in the trunk. I do keep the carseat in there all the time... and you know, that would irk me something awful if someone broke in and stole the carseat! Those things are so expensive...

Well, I admit to not always holding onto my purse, but I don't hold on to my kid 24/7 either. I always think about transferring to a smaller purse but then I'd never be able to fit anything into it...

I know! People who don't worry about their cars (or something inside the car) getting stolen are not thinking!
