I SHOULD like, through your paper, to express my grateful thanks to Mandy and Bill of ASDA and also Pc Katie Pring, of Bromsgrove police, for their kindness and concern after my purse was stolen out of my shopping bag at ASDA in Bromsgrove.

I had hooked the bag onto the trolley as I shopped. It is a sad state of affairs the people can't do their weekly shop without this happening in our local store.
