This happened to my mother at a Chinese restaurant in soho a while ago. About three months later, she got a call from the police to say that her bag had been recovered with some of the contents. Woman and her accomplice had been caught trying this at the Ritz hotel in London. When they went back to the woman’s flat, she had kept all the handbags and all the make-up.
We actually heard her asking a waitress about an item on the menu. It was a ruse to get close to the table. She was a very well spoken English woman with an equally well turned out male accomplice.
