I had my purse taken from inside my handbag as I boarded a P4 to Brixton at Lewisham bus station at approximately 6pm one evening last March. The thief got off again straight away, having asked the driver if it went to New Cross (which it obviously didn't) and then legged it when I challenged him. The police told me something similar at the time about there having been a spate of similar crimes. Is disappointing it still seems to be happening almost a year later.
