I seem to be invisible to thieves, thankfully . Not once but twice a thief ran by me in two seperate stores last year. The first time I was opening the door to enter a Best Buy and someone ran out the other door followed by security. Seems they stole a new cell phone. I was not paying attention because I was putting my phone in my purse while opening the door. The second time I was at the check out at Home Depot, near the exit door. Someone had a full cart and ran out the doors and quickly dumped the items into a waiting truck in the loading dock just outside the door. I knew something was up when I saw people gathering around me, asking each other " Did that just really happen ?" Security was called but were too late. Both times I had my purse open with my cell phone and ereader in it. Thankfully these thieves only wanted new stuff.
