But what about the bloke who stole her bag? Was he really just a common or garden thief, stealing to fund his habit or was he in on it too?
If he wasn't in on it, what did he do with the egg? Imagine him going through the bag, seeing what he could sell, watch, laptop, vouchers etc fab. Use her card to buy booze and bags using contactless, cool. Some weird looking ornament, chuck that and the bag in the canal.
How many 20 somethings would know a Faberge egg if it fell out of a handbag they'd just nicked in a pub?
But maybe it wasn't the victim's decision to take the egg to the exhibition herself? Perhaps her employers were too lax or tight to sort proper transport and railroaded her into it?
Can you imagine if she's a Mumsnetter and the AIBU. AIBU to not want to do this for work- they never do things properly and are always cutting corners. I have to take some items (can't say what as they're too outing) to a work event tonight but I've arranged to meet a friend in Soho on the way as I'll have time to kill but some of the items are rather unique and irreplaceable. I've said they should arrange a courier but they won't as it will cost loads and 'I'm going anyway'. AIBU?
