I was sitting on a bench outside the ticket office at the station, my husband had gone to buy the tickets and I was looking after two large backpacks (lodged against the wall) and two day packs, one by each foot.
I was reading, but was aware that a short well dressed man with dark hair had sat down on the bench next to me. The man pointed to one of the packs and as I turned my head to look at it I noticed a short lady with dark bobbed hair bend down and pick up the other pack.
Luckily I noticed and managed to give chase and get it back!
But look out for a well dressed middle aged couple at the station. I've learnt my lesson and now have my pack firmly attached to some part of me at all times!
