"Our branch manager said obviously someone saw the purse, broke the window and then took the purse," Niebur said. "Charges were made to the lady's credit card that day, according to police. This was especially unusual for something like that to happen at that time of day. I agree with police that people should not leave a purse or wallet visible in a car. "
