to be sad that someone has stolen DD's bag at nursery?

[Mercapto]

It was one of these

It went missing last week and there is still no sign of it. I've a feeling it's gone for good as there has been a poster up in the nursery for months about Nike trainers that have gone missing.

It's not the fact it was a fancy bag that bothers me. It's the fact it belonged to my DD, it was for our first family holiday and it had a change of her clothes in it.

my ds left his new waterbottle in the playground the other day. Now it's vanished; he doesn't appreciate the value of things, he shouldn't have left it out..but it is annoying someone didn't hand it to lost property

Ok it's only £3 but I can't afford him another at the mo, and Im disinclined as he'll probably leave it out again...

Im never bothered by paint etc on their shirts. but I am bothered when dd got drawn on in the middle of her back with a felt tip down her blouse. only from asda - but vanish wouldn't shift it... you do feel a bit peeved in that situation

The pound shop is good for water bottles :-)

One of the nursery staff went home with a couple of DD's hair clips attached to her top for safe keeping (as DD had taken them out during the day). She phoned and offered to bring them over to our house (we said they could wait until next time DD was in nursery). There are some lovely people around.

happened to us brand new lunch bag with his name written in big letters across the back "coincidentally" another child left his bag there that day so we assumed his parent would bring back ours the next day after all our childrens names were totally different and the writing was almost an inch high to be frank we never saw it again and we checked lost property and everything next time i sent him in with a cheap one he hates it and i hope his friend does too

so far this year he has lost two drinks cups he is only five so i cant really be mad although i did tell him i would staple it to his head if he lost another one he is almost sure im joking ;-)

thanks Flib

Luckily my son hasn't lost too many items at preschool. We seem to have the opposite problem of gaining items.

He goes to a special needs preschool by taxi so we don't pick him up ourselves. He often ends up with extra hats or jumpers in his bag. I think it is because he can't answer questions so they can't really ask him if it is his.

I send it back at the earliest opportunity with a note in his book so the staff realise the extra item is in there. If he got a big item like a coat or bag I would phone that day so they could tell the parent who was missing it where it was and that it would be returned the next day.

I hope your daughter gets her bag back, it is very cute.

The bag is still missing.

There are now signs up in the nursery asking for info on the bag and two other items that have gone missing.

I'm still convinced there is a theft problem!

It's a shame.

Why do people post along the lines of "well you shouldn't own nice things" in response to a theft! ARGH. OP YANBU. There are bastards out there so keep the precious things at home and send her out with cruddy things - hopefully it'll be less infuriating when some twat lifts it.
