Dear Kate
Did you have a nice weekend? I didn't !
Do you remember I wanted to buy some new trainer? I had spent months saving up the money to buy them and I finally had enough. Jake wanted to buy a new CD so we decided to go shopping together on Saturday. If only we hadn't gone! A terrible thing happened.
We got the but into town and it was very crowded, so we had to stand all the way. Jake and I were chatting when I suddenly noticed that my bag was open and my purse had gone! The bus had just stopped and there was a boy near me who was going quickly towards the door. We thought he had stolen my money so we got off the bus and followed him. The boy started running and then Jake chased him shouting ' Stop! Thief!' It was like a scene out of a film! A policeman saw what was going on and managed to grab the boy.
The embarrassing thing was that when he searched the boy,he didn't have my purse! He had probably thrown it away before he was caught. The boy said he was innocent and that they shouldn't blame him for the stolen purse. He explained that he had only started running because he was late for a meeting with friends. The policeman didn't arrest him and I felt really stupid. I don't know if he was guilty or not as there was no proof. I wish I hadn't been so careless and had kept an eye on my bag!
I've lost my front door key and 60 euros. I'm really fed up. Jake offered to lend me the money to buy the trainers, but I don't think it's fair to take it. It isn't his fault that I was robbed!
Anyway,I hope your weekend was better than mine!
Love,
Mandy
