Sorry to hear that Otis, some lowlifes out there presumably see old folk as easy targets.
They obviously weren't after his medication and just took the opportunity to grab a bag.
He has two. Luckily all his valuables were in the other bag.
I had just left him moments earlier. He said he was getting the bus, but must have changed his mind and headed to the market instead.

Been back to the market today.
They say my dad put the bag down and two market traders actually noticed and kept an eye on it. They turned away for just a few seconds and when they looked back it was gone.
Whoever took it got nothing though. It's all ointments and creams for a leg ulcer and some bandages.
Biggest worry is that the medicines have my mum and dad's address on.
Just slightly concerned that if whoever took it saw my mum and dad and how old they are they might chance burgling their house.
Hoping it was just an opportunistic sneak thief and they just grabbed the bag without looking.

There’s some absolute lowlife around

Funnily enough, we went to Tesco at Jubilee Crescent a few weeks back and they had no baskets at all.
We asked as to why and they said people keep stealing them and have now taken the last few and they literally had zero left.
These were the plastic ones.

The expansion/creation of the self service till I hate using them they take longer and as I do the work saving a salary why no discount it not as if the supermarkets don’t make a few quid and the same goes for self scan they may as well stop asking me I am not going to use it
I love the self service tills. My favourite option.
It means I can avoid talking to humans.
I think the whole idea is for you not to buy the bags.
We always take bags with us. Then re-use them. That's the whole point.
Feel a bit guilty about using self scan as it ultimately means loss of jobs. We have self service in libraries now where you can let yourself in and never have to even speak to another person. Sad really and another loss of community.
Me too, but try and avoid the ones with chin stubble and gruff voices.
The worst ones are the ones that fold out into a single sheet about a yard square, then you have to find the English part.
And when you've found it and read it, figuring out how to fold it up again.
Yep, I've got a few of those. Half a rainforest cut down when only a few of the pages are relevant to me.
I had a woman at Morrison's ask me if I fancied her as I often went to her checkout rather than the others. I explained that when I first go in I look to see if there are any pretty girls serving and if I can't see one I go to her instead.
1st holiday in 18 months , come all the way to Tenerife and it’s done nothing but piss it down with rain for the first 24 hours , utterly fucked off!!!!

People who go to the newspapers over silly inconsequential stories.
Vegan stuck with just ‘crisps and nuts’ on seven-hour flight
Don't know what's worse here, that she went to the newspaper because she didn't get the vegan meal she asked for, or that her first name is Trilby.

Both. Equal.
She also complained of being dehydrated due to said nuts and crisps......drink some fookin then, perhaps?
It's even worse papers take them seriously. I'd end up writing them as it was the viz and asking what they thought before it went to print.
Just refund her ten pounds and move on what does she want the full flight refunded, if any lesson should be learned it’s fly with a real airline when you fly transatlantic.
'The whole experience was humiliating and distressing.'
Definitely sounds like she is gunning for a big pay off.
