A member of the Leaside Community Facebook group has posted a “heads up” notice about the theft of her wallet from a purse about 2.30 p.m.Thursday while she was in the Starbucks on Bayview Ave opposite Belsize Drive. She says that within six minutes the thief had put $2,000 in US funds on her Visa card. There is a fairly long thread growing late this afternoon with many people expressing regret. One notes that she was followed by a “young guy” who she “ditched at Value Mart.” Among the items lost in the wallet theft were baby pictures, it is posted.
