Just to warn people of distraction theft at Mazarrón Market.

Today I had my small purse stolen from my small bag in a flash of a second whilst in the market. I thought I was very aware and cautious of the possibility of theft & only used a small bag carried over my shoulder, resting on my hip, majority of the time I also kept my hand on top of the zip. I had just purchased some tomatoes and put my purse back in my bag & zipped it up. Whilst moving the carrier from one hand to another, walking along, a woman, probably mid 20’s on my left side kept catching the back of my sandals with her flip flops, the aisle seemed to get quite crowded, then she let out a big sigh, as though to imply she was sick of being stuck in the “crowd”. As I turned to my left to look at her I suddenly heard the zip of my bag on my right side being whipped open, in that fraction of a second I looked at my bag, which was open and my purse gone. It contained €100 as we had planned to buy a new floor mat for the living room and a bank debit card. It has been reported to the police and the card stopped, but it has been a very nasty experience which has greatly sickened and upset me. Please be careful with your purse or wallet, I thought I was vigilant but obviously not enough. Jaz
