“But she ran after them to get her purse ...” Yes, that was a little inconsistent. Maybe she’d have given them her money and credit cards, but she wanted her driver’s license because the DMV is such a pain.

In some cases, the perps will dump the purse somewhere, intact, sans the money and credit cards (and any other valuables they might find therein). Local anonymous tip-off to the police tells them where they can recover the cleaned-out purse and wallet.

In other cases, the whole purse gets dumped in the garbage or some bushes alongside the freeway, forever lost and forgotten.
