Ladies, listen up! You've probably done it. You finish loading your groceries from a shopping cart into your car and then go to return the cart. You leave your car unlocked and your purse inside.

Lately, someone has been seizing the few seconds you are away from your car to open the door and steal your purse.

It's happened twice in the last week at Kroger on Hartland Parkway. In one case, the suspect dropped the purse as he was being yelled at by the owner.

Police say its best to keep your purse on your arm or lock your car while your returning the cart.
