Well I would be worried if I had anything with my address on in my handbag and don't carry my driving licence with me for that reason except on holiday. Any thief would have your house key in your handbag and know where you live so you could be burgled as well. Remote operated car keys also help theives as well. They only need to look where you might be parked and wander by, pressing your key fob till they see lights flashing. |

So sorry to hear this. It is such a shame that an organised gang think it is OK to take what isn't theirs. |

Many years ago we were burgled during the night while we were asleep. Of all the things stolen, and there was a great deal, my handbag was the most precious to me. It contained the usual purse, cards etc, but also treasured photo,s of my dad from his Navy days during WW2 which I had carried with me for years, for comfort I suppose. |

Ann I got my keys back within about 15-20 minutes.The thieves didn't have time to get copies made.I was concerned,initially,thinking that they only had to go out the carpark outside where my car was parked, |

Barb that is dreadful that you were burgled in the night when you were asleep.At least now it is easy to make copies of treasured photos etc. on a home copier,which you couldn't do previously. |

Ann in Australia where I am it is an offence to drive your car without your licence.You must carry it with you at all times,and I am fairly sure that you can get quite a heavy fine if you are pulled up by the police and don't have your licence on you. |

I think that carrying your driving licence should be law here too. Carrying some sort of car insurance card wouldn't be a bad idea also. |

Going off on a tangent I cant see how the authorities will keep up with who have Road Taxed their vehicles now a disc doesn't have to be displayed. |

Shirley, the police have a monitor in their cars to automatically pick up cars that have no road tax from the reg no. |

We were under the impression that, in the UK, a driver must be carrying his Driving Licence if he is driving, or supervising a learner driver. |

When I renewed OH.s licence I did it on line and gave his passport number for the photo. I thought that was so convenient. |

Why do people always call them Smart cars? Nobody ever says Vauxhall car or Toyota car. |

I had my handbag stolen whilst on holiday in Lanzarote. Fortunately I had left my credit cards, most money, etc in the safe back at the hotel. I only)had my phone, a relatively small amount of money, make up and comb and my hotel room keys. |
