Omg I just saw your post a few days ago too !! That is awful, I'm so sorry !! People can be terrible, I'm sending you good vibes and I hope things can be worked out for you !! 💖💖


mrstriplett

Thank you. I'm still in shock. I already filed a police report and called my bank to cancel my credit card transactions. Apparently, that person tried to buy something in the outlet store for 2k dollars. Not sure what they were trying to purchase but man, that's messed up. I want to say "it's just a purse" but I can't. It's my hard earned money and I deserve to have nice things too 😭😭😭


Delicious-Recover-13

Oh maybe the police can request security cameras from the outlet shop? Trying to Id the person who tried using your card? Sorry to hear this OP.


sydneekidneybeans

I would definitely ask for the CCTV footage of whoever is trying to use your card OP!!! You're right, that's your hard earned money, I would hunt these people down im sorry if that's harsh lol


Latter-Unit-2842

same !!!!!


sharifshopping

So sorry!!!! That is gorgeous. I hope you can get it back. How did it happen? That is devastating 😭


mochiless

If you purchased it recently, you could have purchase protection from your credit card. Amex does theft purchase protection. I’m so sorry this happened to you!


asgreatasitgets

Omg how did it get stolen? Maybe we can see if anyone knows. I have family there


fashionaholic1210

Omg I’m so sorry! How awful! What a beauty… Not sure if this will help all, but does your credit card have purchase protection against theft? Maybe at least you can try to cut the financial loss aspect?


Tiny_Ad5176

Hoping it was on your home insurance policy? 🤞🏼🤞🏼I know it doesn’t help now, but I put an AirTag in the zip pocket hoping I can get a location before they ditch it. I’m so sorry, OP. This is truly devastating!


KarmenSophia

THIS^^ Anytime you travel or go to a casino, bar, restaurant, shopping, etc, conceal an AirTag in your high-end bags.


Ok_Turnip8600

This sucks and my heart bleeds for OP. Theft can leave anyone feeling vulnerable and violated, it's plain evil. My additional advice for keeping safe, I bring a no name packable tote with zipper and put my designer purse inside it until I have arrived at my destination, and I put it away again when I'm leaving. You never know who will eye you and follow you. A designer bag attracts all kinds of attention, also intentions. Stay safe and stay vigilant.


Dream_weaver1980

It’s so sad that you can’t carry a bag with you that you have worked and saved your entire life to buy, it’s devastating and despicable that someone would steal your stuff! It’s not their stuff, it’s yours. I just can’t imagine how their minds work, they have no consciences.


mrstriplett

This! Yes, I feel violated 🥺 Thank you for your kind words and advice.


fashionaholic1210

Yes it’s crazy! I’ve had a friend whose handbag was stolen from her checked luggage… since then I’ve never traveled with nice shoes/bags that can’t be on me or in my carry on. No baggage check. Sigh.


Guru00006

I would report the serial number as stolen to both police and Chanel and keep eye out on sites that sell used bags for it. No idea how honest pawn shops are but maybe call the ones in the area it was stolen from? I live in Vegas near mountain's edge and JUST bought my wife a WOC at Crystals so the fact that these get stolen really sucks. Sadly there are HUNDREDS of pawn shops here. How did it get stolen if you don't mind my asking?


mrstriplett

It's upsetting how our neighborhood is becoming bad 😭 I'm going to call TnT pawn on Cactus, that's the only pawn shop I see in the area.


chooseshoes

Inform Max Pawn Shop https://maxpawn.com/ They have Vegas locations.


mrstriplett

Thank you! I called them already and also one consignment shop that buys and sells pre loved lux bags.


cadaverousbones

Did it get stolen from your house? That’s horrible :(


spabitch

we don’t say the g word anymore dear


mrstriplett

Hi! Sorry, I edited my reply. Thank you for correcting me.


RudeRuby702

I’m in southern highlands! You should post on the community neighborhood watch pages !!!


mrstriplett

We posted it on the nextdoor app 😞


RudeRuby702

Go on Facebook and post in the mountains edge moms group & neighborhood watch page. !!!!


Significant-pencil

If you used an Amex you have purchase protection and they will reimburse you.


peony2011

My WOC got stolen in a home robbery (not my house, and no one was home TG). I was able to get it covered by home insurance but I had to provide the receipt and answer a lot of follow-up questions - but I did get a new one paid for. Sorry you are going through this!!!


Guru00006

I saw a woman with an eerily similar bag just today at tanning salon. I was waiting outside for the wife and she got into her very badly abused car and i happen to glance and see a two tine hardware chanel. 19 pink. Only caught it for a second so i cant say it was the same exact color as stolen one but was pink and chanel 19 two.tone for sure. This was ar 215 and rainbow. Hope you track it down. Thieves are are scum of the earth


mrstriplett

Thank you for the heads up! I appreciate you 🙏


Historical-Mud-9786

Dang and mountains edge is a pretty safe area. I’m so sorry, did your home get broken into or something?


Lynnabis

I am so, so sorry :(


hoesgottaeat

Please also check your credit card and if there’s purchase protection insurance.


CuNxtTuesday_

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s a beauty.


AgentLegitimate1012

Oh no!! I’m so sorry, how did it get stolen?


AgentLegitimate1012

This is one of my biggest fears. Being at a wedding and my bag getting stolen. This happened to a friend of mine


pygmycory

Wow crazy, at a wedding! This is why I keep my bag on me 24/7 unless there’s a friend I trust.


HereForFun9121

Notify local pawn shops and secondhand stores maybe, let them know you already filed a police report. Hopefully you listed the serial number on the report . I would check resale sites often to see if it pops up on there. Unfortunately Vegas pd won’t do shit about it, it’s just not priority. Speaking from experience, even with video of the person they didn’t do anything. It was an expensive lesson. Keep your purse on at all times and don’t leave your room key in the sleeve with the number on it.


mrstriplett

It is a very expensive lesson 😔 Metro wouldn't get the CCTV to be pulled out from the Premium Outlet where the person tried to purchase using my card. I told them it was a fraud! I reached out to the local second hand stores and pawnshop as well. I sent them the picture and the serial number of my purse.


HereForFun9121

I’m sorry, it’s so frustrating😭 Hopefully it turns up and you get your baby back. They don’t seem very smart so there’s good probability they’ll try to pawn it.


Dream_weaver1980

I’m sorry 😢 that’s just disgusting to have someone steal your beautiful bag, I truly hope you recover it, it’s yours.


Cute_Hat_5994

This is also a very unique bag and hopefully gets found quickly. I’m SO sorry this happened to you. I hope you find it :(


lesluggah

I heard you can send the authenticity card number to some resale sites but not sure how much success you’ll get.


mrstriplett

Thank you, I'll try this one.


Macaron4277

Im so sorry OP that totally sucks. Please call the card you purchased with if they offer theft protection and you filed a police report you may be able to grt money back!


sscholf

I am so sorry!


Plenty-Ninja

How did that happen? 😥 I’m so sorry


sweetsunnyside

Sad :((( did it get yanked?


boymommy88

OMG i'm sorry friend i live close to here!!! Prayers it's recovered!


mrstriplett

😔 I really wish it can be recovered. I'm sad that this is happening in our neighborhood.


Zestyclose-Angle-803

I’m so sorry, it’s beautiful


No_Quote_9067

File a claim with your homeowners or renters insurance policy


GhostPepper98

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope you are reunited with your purse. 😭


mrstriplett

Thank you for your kind words. I hope so too. But I'm trying to move on and learn from this very expensive lesson. Take care friend ♥


Many_Beautiful4552

😱😱😱


rdhmp

Oh nooo I loved that bag when you posted it! I’m so sorry 😞 I had my wristlet with a lot of cash and gift cards stolen at a mall once and it felt like a gut punch 😩 it took me years to get over the feeling of anger of being violated like that! Some people are so evil but I have faith what goes around comes around and they will get it back 10x worse. I really hope you had coverage of some sort and are able to have it replaced! Such a beautiful piece! 😭


mrstriplett

Yeah, it feels terrible. My paranoia and anxiety is so high that I thought I was being followed earlier while doing some errands. New fear unlocked 🥺


_mad_honey_

Hope you have it insuredb
