Ini kejadian sama temenku jg. Aku & temen2 arisan di salah satu restaurant di sency. Namanya ibu2 yah..... Tasnya ditaruh disalah satu kursi yg kosong. Kebetulan yang taruh di kursi kosong itu ada 4-5 orang. Yang apesnya tas temenku yg rada kecil itu yg diambil. Spertinya, orang yang ngambil tasnya jg pakaiannya rapi& perempuan pula. Tapi, tetep aja tas temenku raib. Untuk ibu2 yang biasa hang out ke mall hati2 aja ya....
