If anyone finds a purse or a phone ( the phone was cheap but could be sold for a few euros but had in replaceable photos on it) in Benijofar please post on this forum as purse also has photos that cannot be replaced. Police were called but we're disinterested.thank you
So sorry to hear this, it must be very upsetting.
However, we have had a number of posts on this forum saying that it isn't advisable to put bags on backs of chairs, on tables or on the floor when out in bars and restaurants. The advice has always been to carry a cross body bag whenever possible and to keep it on your body while sitting anywhere. I always use a cross body bag whenever I feel the need to carry a handbag and put it on my lap with the strap still around me so no one can steal it or anything from it.
I know none of this will help you now and you must be upset, but it may help in future.
As for the photos, when you get a new phone it's a good idea to use a photo holding website such as Google photos, that way you can never lose any photos again, as they are automatically saved and upload to Google when in any WiFi area or at home. Your original photos will still be there on your phone for you to look at and share on your phone but you will have the added assurance of copies of them being in a safe place online ( securely protected with your password) for you to access should you ever lose your phone. I use Google photos all the time, as I am photo mad and couldn't imagine losing my photo memories, plus it's free to use.
