I hate seeing the older generation walking round town with a shopping trolley in one hand, and their purse in the other.
Put your purse in the bottom of your trolley, or shopping bag please :(
-
Very trusting the older generation at times Fly, leaving house doors unlocked whilst nipping to shops etc. Mine are always locked - even when I am in.

Same here. It was a while ago now when someone on the road where I live didnt. They were watching Eastenders and some scrote opened the door, took some keys and drove off in their 2 cars.

Young, old or in between the one we see the most is the habit of Ladies hanging their handbag on the hook at the back of the shopping trolley.
Distracted for 5 seconds and bye bye handbag.
Please don't do it

Few years back when Chessy had the Christmas Lights switch on on Friday nights I was shuffling along in a department store with the crowds. A group of people were in front of me, a lady had her back to me, open handbag over shoulder with purse sticking out :o I just tapped her on the shoulder and whispered 'your purse is in a good position to be stolen'!!!
Ladies please don't do that either ::)
-
What about the gents who keep their wallet in their trouser back pocket; just asking to be 'dipped'.
-
Mine stays in my back pocket cos I'm sat on my aris most of the time :D
Carboots, markets etc, it gets put in a front pocket,
I'm sure I'd know if someone was dipping in there ::)

No, never carry enough money to bother with one
-
A bit like the Royal family then eh, it's a good idea not to carry too much cash though never know who is lurking out there.
-
I think the elderly and vulnerable are at risk of losing a lot more to telesales and door to door conmen.
-
And spam post about the mistreated horses, donkies, cats, dods, etc,
that they get shoved through their letter boxes :(
-
Agreed there my friends father got hooked into buying stuff at expensive rates through answering junk mail. When she visited he had stacks of unwanted stuff in his spare bedroom - the monies her had paid out unbelievable.
-
The elderly are deliberately targeted, both by junk mail and by door-to-door salesmen. That's why I've registered my Dad's address with the Mailing Preference Service and his phone number with the Telephone Preference Service - both are free and very worthwhile.
He often used to give far too much information over the phone e.g. "I'm disabled and living on my own...." It horrified me so now he's been told not to tell anyone anything and it's printed out for him to see next to his phone - 'Don't talk to people you don't know!'.
He doesn't answer the door; anyone who needs to see him either has a key or the code to his keysafe - got to keep the old folks safe somehow.
-
Wish my mum would listen to us Dave, she's far too trusting even though we all tell her the things which you have told your dad. It's frightening isn't it. :-\

I built a website a few years ago for a charity who campaign on behalf of old folks who are scammed out of their savings by "winning" competitions...
Take a look, it's a real eye opener.

Utter scumbags !!
I'll be glad when they finally stop the use of cheques.
My old Aunty may stop sending them behind our backs.
Bless her, she's only trying to help :'(
