Yvonne Hudson: Purse stolen out of her car in Winco parking lot

Ladies, just because your purse is strapped into the baby seat doesn’t mean a criminal won’t get your wallet. Just happened to me at Winco, so now I will only shop with things I need in my pockets or a fanny pack.

Had to get a new debit card because of my stolen wallet and was told it would be an overnight delivery with signature required from FedEx. Nope, stuck inside the screen door. Guess they don’t understand that thieves follow their trucks around and steal packages. Even put a sign on the door to ring the doorbell as per our actual Fed-Ex driver. Mad, hell yes. Guess we will have to sit on the porch and wait for our deliveries. Also, a large package was delivered by Fed-Ex then stolen off the porch as my husband sat inside the house waiting for it. No doorbell ring or knock. Called Fed-Ex and was told drivers aren’t required to do anything but drop it off.

Yvonne Hudson, Modesto
