“Here's a better description of her than the one in the article...she immensely fat, with a 'chavy' dress sense and has a face that looks like a pig stuffing its face. Shame on this woman, I hope she's caught, humiliated and sent to prison for a short stretch.”

“Happy don't you think that's a little smug and condescending - Poor girl lost an expensive mobile phone for one moments distraction - I genuinely hope you don't lose anything valuable or otherwise in similar circumstances.
I very much hope someone recognises big bird and reports her to the police so she can get her comeuppance”

“Almost condemnation for the victim telling her to be 'more careful'and 'not to leave her things unattended'. It is the thief that is to blame (and what a classic beauty she looks too!!) not the person who is momentarily distracted. I found a mobile once and immediately phoned the owner. It should be permissible (although inadvisable) to be a little careless on occasions, however, it is never permissible to be a THIEF.”

“No No No. Things are not your you should not take it. I found mobile in the Park, the owner rang on that phone I answered strait way and told them my address, with in ten minutes they came and offered me £10 award I didn't take it and returned their phone with smile. I feel so proud for that, today I am telling whole Leicestershire.”

“Sadly, you cannot trust anyone these days. I feel sorry for the young woman; however she will learn from her mistake and hopefully will not leave her mobile phone unattended again in the future.”
