I went to a store in New Redruth on Saturday, December 10 at 10am. Upon exiting the store, I took the two plastic bags out of the trolley, but left my card-holder with all my cards in the trolley. When I realised my mistake, I went back to the store where everybody was very helpful and advised me to visit the store on Sunday morning, so they could see what they could do.
To my surprise, the video footage showed two women entering the store at 10:23 (about three minutes after I left my trolley in the store) and using the same trolley. The one woman with long black hair was dressed in a pink top. We saw on the screen how they took the plastic holder with my cards in. There they, as good citizens, had two choices. They could have walked four steps to the security and handed in the holder, or walked six steps to the office and handed in the holder – but the woman in the pink top opted to exit the Pick n Pay hastily with my holder and all my cards and disappeared.
The cards are useless to you, but you chose to be a person who takes another person’s belongings. People who do that are unfortunately called thieves. May you have a very unpleasant Christmas season for what you’ve chosen to do to others – that I’m sure you wouldn’t like to be done to you, woman in pink.
