“What a frightening thing to happen to this poor lady, cowardly scum bags that they are, 3 of them on one female. If they stole my bag they would have a shock as they would end up with a load of doggy poo bags, dog biscuits and a load of tissues (that about sums up my life) but its the vulnerability and the nervousness afterwards that makes it so cruel.
I hope this lady gets her confidence back soon with no long-lasting effects.”
