I'm really glad it worked out for you in the end but I have to say I admire your bravery!!! We all do things in anger and as someone said earlier, he stole from you first! I dont believe two wrongs make a right but in this instance it certainly did hahahahah! Good on you girl!!!!
I had a guy do this to a few years ago also so now I ensure that if I have to leave the room for whatever reason, my bag goes with me also - always. You just cant trust any punter in this biz
