I so appreciate it when people have stopped me and said something along those lines. I don't typically carry a purse, so I tend to leave it in a shopping cart, or set my cell down. If not for the advice/reminders of considerate people, I'd probably have had my bank account cleaned out several times. I've even left bags of groceries, clothes, etc at the register or in the cart. People always stop me. Wow... I'm feeling kind of dumb right now.
I think that persons who stop and say "Excuse me, I noticed you've left your purse open and unattended" or "Wait, you left this!" are truly looking out for others. And if she takes offense, oh well. She probably felt like an idiot. But... she'd feel worse if it took a little walk right out of the cart.
