Hey everyone, this is a storytime telling about when I was 16 and my handbag was stolen by colleagues at work. The bag was then emptied of my phone, wages and makeup, and brought back after I phoned the police.
It taught me to not take nice things into places where they'll be left unattended!

Yikes, what a horror story 😱 With coworkers like these, who needs enemies? Agree on not taking premium designer bags to work - less drama 😉👍 Thanks for sharing!
Or designer anything, because people can be very jealous and nasty.
I don’t agree on taking luxury designer bags to work. As people could be nosy about your lifestyle. I prefer using them on weekends or outside work.
I work in an office with 2 other ppl. My boss and the assistant supervisor. I’m very fortunate to not have to worry about this. Both my boss & I use our luxury bags to work

I have commented above hope you can see it.
I can see you Jill!!! I hope you're having a lovely Sunday, we're just about to have a roast for dinner - YUM! :D xxx
I can't stand a jealous coworker. 🤔
@@Ms.HoneyH Well, they are everywhere!
Aren’t they a cruel bunch? Glad you had the sense to call the cops. Was very smart of you.
Mean girl behaviour is a huge tell of insecurity. Well done for going back after this, I bet that infuriated the clique 😉 xx
Hey Daisy! It was horrible working there in the end, I was glad when the end of the day would come!xx
And that's exactly why I will never believe or participate in movements such as "girl power" "feminism" "women supporting women" etc. The women who scream those phrases at the top of their lungs are the same women who are bitter, angry and jealous of you, like those mean girls Sophie described. Best to be an individual and see everyone else as individuals. Don't ever buy into chauvinistic alliances to someone else based on gender.
@@joyjoyjoyful Amen!
i wouldve quit as soon as i realised that other girls were getting blamed for stuff they didnt do. theres no point in sticking around so they can do it on you too
@@joyjoyjoyful Totally!
If You had ever watched Columbo you know that the person who makes the most ridiculous excuses is the guilty one 🤷♀️ ❤️
This happened to me. I worked in an office that had several floors and many workers. I used to keep my bag in a cupboard near my desk. One day it went missing and I searched everywhere nearby for it. I reported it to my bosses and it was noted but generally ignored. I might add that at the time I was a single mother and lived paycheck to paycheck so the loss was very upsetting to me. Several of my colleagues also searched for me. I even had to borrow money for my train fare home. Well the bag turned up a few days later (minus my purse) in a cupboard that had been checked several times. That led me to the conclusion that it was an "inside job" because what stranger would come in again and put it back?
It sounds like a complete nightmare. I can't imagine going through that as young student who is dependent on a toxic work situation for spending money. It really upsets me that your boss refused to help and got upset with you for calling the police. She was quick to search bags for a bottle of nail varnish but wouldn't do the same for your wages and phone. Terrible.
I have always prided myself on staying very calm and level-headed but this story has me seething with rage 💔 It hits close to home. I'm not surprised some people have a lack of empathy. What a nightmare!
I'm glad you're doing better, Sophie, you didn't deserve that. I hope you and David are keeping safe & well, I just saw super cold on news yesterday.
It was a very upsetting situation, to lose your phone and wages on top of that, I’d basically worked a week for free!! Hugs to you my friend, I hope life is good xx
Sounds to me that it was your boss that took it and once she knew police were involved she returned it xx
Sophie, I really value your cautionary tales regarding where and when it’s best to carry your luxury goods. I recently purchased my first luxury bag. I decided not to bring it to work to avoid any opportunities for theft, or pettiness from coworkers. There are many other places I can carry it, and be more at ease while I enjoy my bag. Thank you, as always for your videos.
I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m a hair dresser and have been hazed/bullied at a salon that also had a toxic environment. It’s a huge reason why I’m an independent stylist now.
Im so sorry you went through this Sophie, Im impressed on how well you handled it, you were 100% right in calling the police. Those juniors will surely have it coming, their excuses and fabricated stories were ridiculous, Im so sorry for the girl who got fired. It is sad that there are people who are so small and pathetic that all they do is try to destroy for others.
I m appalled. You did well by calling the police, well done, the boss knew it and you did disabused her by calling the police. So so sorry Sophie. I m always shocked by the level of meaness people can reach.
The thief retuning the bag theory is so far fetched that it's admission of guilt. Lots of love, xxxCat
Holy crap… I can’t imagine working in a place like that! I’ve witnessed catty experiences while working in retail, but no one was framing nor stealing from coworkers! 😩
OMG THAT IS HORRIBLE!!! I would have fought every single colleague right there on the spot!! Idc if I lose the job or not, that's just unacceptable... 😤 I'm so sorry you had to go through this Sophie! 💕
I was captivated by your story; you're a very good story teller!!!
My mother sewed me a beatiful jacket which was stolen at school in March. In October somebody came wearing it and left it in the changing room. I saw it and I took it back. I was 13 then so I didn't wait for a thiev.
Dear Sophie I know you won’t expose any name or anyone because you are kind. Let just hope what goes around comes around for mean malicious bullies like them!
the boss was likely tax evading or money laundering and tags why she didn't want the police involved. very common in hairdressers and nail/ beauty salons
I hope whoever stole your bag sees this storytime and feels 1) horribly ashamed at their behavior, and 2) completely jealous of your success.
I remember being bullied, being picked on, and your story upsets me, but also feel therapeutic at the same time. Perhaps because I felt some small connection with other people (you) who had the same experience as me. Thank you for sharing your story.
I don’t get why someone would steal from a teenager. It’s sad.
It's likely another teenager did it x
it could've been the boss running a crime ring and embezzling
hence the anger at reporting it and the sudden return
because that would keep all of them on the police radar for other thefts
women as thieves forensically work in groups
It's so bizarre and disgusting to steal from children. Absolutely unhinged of them to do that.
And I don't get why anyone would steal from anyone? I can understand when starving homelss person steal some food, but this?!? What a lack of class. Bad people without any empathy and brain.
Ugh! Sad that so many of us can relate to this... reminded me of once years ago when I lost a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers in a shop. They were my first pair and I was in college (so $180 for a pair of sunglasses was a lot), and had them hooked on the front of my shirt. I didn't realize until I started to pull out of the parking lot that they were missing. I felt my stomach drop and raced back inside - they had to be in there, unless someone picked them up and took them. I frantically searched the store, looking on the floor, under racks...etc. I asked a cashier (who couldn't have cared less) if someone had turned them in, and she said no. I checked the store again and finally went back to the cashier to ask if I could leave my name and number in case they turned up, and maybe I could come back to check tomorrow. After a few minutes of conversation, there was a split-second of hesitation before she reached under the counter and pulled out my sunglasses, asking "Oh, are these yours?" I was overjoyed and gratefully headed back to the car - it was just a few minutes later when the euphoria died down that I started to suspect she probably had them the whole time and intended to keep them, had I not been so determined to get them back. 😎🙄
Yep! She was gonna keep them! Good for you for going back!
That's so gross! I'm so sorry that happened to you. I worked retail for many years and never in my life would I ever steal from anyone let alone a customer. People were always leaving stuff in our dressing rooms and half the time we were able to reunite them with the owners and half the time people never came back for them. The one time some one accused us of stealing her item still makes me so mad!
Like we are so lowly people to steal peoples stuff! Clearly this girl was, but a lot of retail workers are not!
You were very brave to continue working there Sophie!
This was hard to watch. I had a similar situation when I was a child and the loss hits to this day. My grandmother bought me a purse, filled it with fancy tissues, hello Kitty pens which for anyone reading this back in the early 80’s you could only get Hello Kitty in specialty stores, she wasn’t everywhere yet and a tiny family photo album. Someone stole it in my classroom.
Hello Kitty was very pricey in the 1980s! The products were made only in Japan at that time. Sorry that happened to you.
It’s awful being accused of theft when you know it wasn’t you. Happened to me in my late teens. Thankfully I was backed up by work colleagues but it’s still absolutely mortifying. It’s hard to look back on too because you view it with the experience of being older but when you’re only 16/18/20 the things that make you stop and think now, didn’t even occur to you when you were that age. Have also had small things stolen from me which is equally a rotten experience. Listen to your elders when they try to advise you or you’ll end up learning from a bad experience yourself and it’s a memory you can’t ever forget. 😔
This is true! I was just remembering some things that happened in my early twenties when I couldn’t stand up or defend myself the right way in some situations. Like you said it’s hard when you look back now with your experienced older self and feel how helpless you were, and that some mean person got away with it. I tell myself it’s a learning experience for me and a teaching experience for my kids. I always tell them to not be taken aback by mean people, and to always defend themselves.
As soon as I heard other things coming up missing I would have kept my things close or locked them up....I had $400 stolen from my purse on a job...I agree that you shouldn't bring expensive things to work...sorry this happened to you..❤
I am so sorry that happened to you 😢. Thank you for sharing your story. Unfortunately, there are a lot of jealous people who resort to bullying, thievery, and crime. The pandemic has made most people's personality worse. I just wish 🤞 and hope 🙏 that people will be kinder to one another.
Most definitely NOT a job worth having/keeping if you’re forced to deal with abusive behavior on the part of piers or management. Also, if you’re getting things stolen at work & management is dong nothing, THEY ARE the problem, which then sets the tone for all employees as to what’s allowed, what’s not allowed, & who gets special treatment- infuriating!! I’m SO sorry you went through that.😔
I was thinking if I was a customer at that Salon I would definitely feel the negative vibes and never return. There is a talented hairdresser I went to 3 times but I decided to stop going because although she is extremely talented she is whispering all the time to her assistant criticizing her colleagues’ work and even the way they speak. The amount of hostility I feel coming from her is unbearable regardless of all the sweet talk she showers me with.
@@m.aburas5833 two faced devil you did right avoiding negative energy🌷
I learned a similar lesson- I had a co worker steal from me and it’s the worst feeling. I agree don’t take nice things, valuables, or large amounts of cash to work. Women are envious of other women who have nice stuff. The only reason you got that bag back is because you called the police. And your right, people only look out for themselves. I recommend you buy a Fanny pack - their ugly but you have all your stuff on you.
I hope those junior girls (who clearly are the ones who stole your belongings) know how well you're doing in life.
Great story Sophie! It really shows how important it is to not bring valuable (economical and emotional) items to work ❤️
Exactly!!xx
oooo! you should have called your phone while you were all in the salon... see who's pocket rings!
That was a terrible experience! My parents would have gone in there and would have yelled at your boss that he would make it up to you. No person should go through such a horrific incident like that.
My first and only one year old Louis Vuitton was in a suitcase that was stolen on a train just two weeks ago... it was a very expensive lesson for me that I should be more careful. I'm still sad about it.
Hi Sophie,
Thank you for sharing this story. It made me angry as well, the way your colleagues and esp your boss acted, taking advantage of a teenager. You always take the high road, even when others are petty or mean. Love that about you💕
Wow! I'm so glad you shared your story. ❤️
Sorry you had to go through that it's a violation
Hun you handled that with much grace! Can’t say at a young age that could have been so calm❤️
What a horrendous place to work!!! It was obviously someone in the salon. And what a horrible boss- she did nothing because it wasn't her bag. Suck a lack of empathy. I would have stop everything and search every single one- cause if it already happened once (with a bag) it would definitely happened again. How frustrating!!
It was her boss 😫😫😫
@@desyreemalig9329 ohhhhh!!
@@MsMargaritaleon - it was just a hunch.
I love your videos and storytimes. You are so wise & I really appreciate your advice💕
My heart was beating so fast! It’s so sickening that innocent people are blamed! I feel terrible for them. 😔
Omg Sophie! I'm sorry this happened to you in the past but you rose above it. Thanks for sharing your story. I wonder how they are now.
Thanks for sharing. Love your story time.
So sorry that happened to you! Sometimes people could be so horrible 😢
Yay, I love storytime 😊 But I´m sorry this happened to you. These situations are so infuriating! 😡Why can`t people just be nice?
It really does still make me so angry all these years later! They even took my wages for the week!!xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial Totally understandable. 😔
Sometimes people can be very bad... why? What problems do they have with the rest of the humanity? I can't understand certain behaviors. Now you're lucky, your only collegue is your beloved hubby 😘
I was certainly glad to leave Veronica. Hugs to you my friend xxx
@@SophieShohetOfficial Have a nice evening dear Sophie
Thank you for sharing this Sophie. I cannot believe you went through this.
My word, this is so horrible. People can be so malicious, especially in youth.
Good life lesson for us all: There are just some sneaky, mean people out there. Stay wary. Much love.
Sad but true.
What a hostile work environment that was! It’s insane how places like that exist and get away with it. I’m glad you at least got your bag back and no harm was done to you. Life is too short for that crap, but I understand that most of us don’t have the luxury of just quitting a bad place then and there. Glad you don’t have that toxicity in your life now! ❤️
people really are something. What a ridiculous “scenario” that lady offered up. she didn’t even have to say anything at all. she probably did. smh.
My debit card was stolen three times from my (locked) locker when I worked in a nursery. Some real mean girl clique behaviour went down in there which was sad, crazy thing is it even still hurts my feelings that I was violated like that. It's always the saddest and most pathetic ones that do shit like this though.
Thanks for sharing Sophie❤️-Holly
Oh my days - Sophie you are so levelheaded! I would absolutely go mad at these people for real real 😡😡😡
My mom used to tell me all the time not to wear or carry any brand/expensive items to work and I used to get upset because I tend to go out immediately after work, so I would never enjoy wearing my items. I have never been robbed at work, but this is one of the greatest lessons.
Horrible people. 🤯🤬😤 thanks for sharing my lady. 🙏🏼😘😘😘Sandy
Conspiracy theory: your boss took your bag 🤪😫
thieves do project and accuse others of theft to deflect blame
@@seabreeze4559 - it's suspicious the boss didn't force her staff to empty the content of their purse upon Sophie's suggestion which is why I think it was the boss. Plus if it wasn't the boss how could the boss just allow toxic people to work there?
@@desyreemalig9329 I think so too.
STOP!
Reiss and Whistles… their bags are gorgeous and understated enough for work!
Times like this reminds me to not be afraid to get physical ♥️ people will squeal once enough pressure is applied 💕
or...you can be charged with assault and get a criminal conviction that way. Best to rise above it.
@@deborahcurtis1385 never. In the U.K. you can stand your ground. Pulling her hair and dragging her to the floor would be a reasonable response to theft.
@@elizabethbowman2096 not when she’s waving my wallet around 💋 sure ur not the thief?
@@elizabethbowman2096 I definitely know for a fact that she stole these things. BUT I am a pacifist and do not believe in violent means to gain resolution. AND I also am well aware of the law in this regard. Fantasies are free and part of the process of the stages of grief. I certainly wouldn't act on them.
My sister inlaw stole me beanie. She put it on her daughters head as they were leaving. The daughter look so scared and guilty. I let it go because I feel sorry for my niece. My sister inlaw has a grin.
The following week they came back and my sister inlaw was wearing it.
Before she left I told her never to come back to my house.
I'm scared she will steal my bags next 🤣🤣🤣
UGH I have an aunt like this. They get off on the thrill of violating your boundaries.
I gladly give away what’s mine and never take away what’s not mine!! A horrible story 😱😱😱 … the managment should do its (proper!) job, but they failed big time 🤯🤯🤯 I saw your recent video on this topic and I fully agree with you. I enjoy my designers items in my private time only. Not so much for the security reasons but because of envy 😕 Sadly & sometimes, one even needs to be careful with “friends”. Anyway, I will NEVER understand this demeanor or envious mindset. I’m happy for people for sooo many reasons, envy was never and never will be my “area”. Thanks for sharing love 🌸💕
I looooove love love the story times 🥰🥰🍿
Also something similar happened to me in my first job, although nothing was taken I came in to the locker room to find my bag had be rummaged through , when I told the manager they didn’t care, I still believe to this day it was one of the male members for staff who had been bothering me but I’m unsure what he was trying to achieve by doing this xx
Dear Sophie, I am so sorry this happened to you. It sounds so traumatic and vile that people you know would do this to you and other people. Sending you a virtual hug from the States.
yeah your boss flat out stole the bag. I am sorry that they did that to you. I am glad you dont work there anymore!
That’s crazy, I can’t believe someone would do that!
Sophie I just love your stories!
Love your story videos!!
LOVE your storytime so Sophie…
Tough break... but I really enjoy your passionate recollection of your past experience. I still think about the story you told about the haunted house and the strange events that you depicted. Love your storytelling skills.✝️peace be with you🌞☯️
How absolutely horrible and upsetting that people get away with this. I respect you for not shaming them, the way the manager handled this situation is completely unacceptable. So infuriating!
I’m subscribed! Love you already!
The hardest thing is learning that people are not like us. I used to believe that there were good people who just do the right thing and bad people who know what is right but chose to do the wrong things. What I didn’t know is there is a third group. This group seem like good people but you realize after awhile that they aren’t. They don’t accept the concept of good/bad. It’s whatever is good for them. I have met too many of the third group in the work environment.
Thats terrible, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm really paranoid about my bag, if it's not locked away in my pedestal, it will be with me at all times. Agree about not taking expensive bags to work.
Love your Chanel. New subie 🥰
Love your story time videos ❤️
This is no longer necessary in the age of working from home but I’m grateful I worked in places where my colleagues were friendly, people who didn’t care about designer brands, who weren’t jealous, and wouldn’t steal. I’ve worked in enough places to know how to spot these things. I’ve been lucky to avoid cliquey type work places as I’ve matured in age
I love see you in Palm Angels 😇.
I tried on one hoodie a year ago and now I'm obsessed. It's really the proportion and fabric weight / quality that I love.
I was wondering what her top said! Why is it blurred out?
Edit: ohhhh I just searched Palm Angels and see that is the design. I thought Sophie censored it on the video. 😆 I haven't heard of this brand.
@@em84c 😭😭❤
Ugh, these are terrible life lessons. Our home was broken into years ago & my bags, jewelry, computers, TV's etc were stollen. It took many years to feel safe being at home again. Now I hide my jewlery, always set the house alarm, never tell anyone when we travel, make copies of all important pictures on my computer etc. I don't like that that experience has forced me to be so cautious & untrusting even in my own home but it has. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Big hug from the USA! 💕
Your boss is the one who did all this stuff, I bet you anything it was her.
These are also my thoughts!
But what’s the motive?
@@cathhl2440 just for the thrill, if she’s a cleptomaníac
@@cathhl2440 Exactly. It was 100% the mean girls. I don't know why people keep saying this. This isn't some conspiracy theory! Bosses want things to run smoothly. Not cause trouble!
What a toxic work environment! I had a bag stolen once. I was very young, maybe 6 years old. The bag was not expensive, but I had some rare coins in it. They were US pennies made of actual copper and worth more than their face value. I put it down at a laundromat while waiting for my mother and someone must have picked it up. Oddly, the bag was returned a short time later. The rare coins had been replaced by a bag of common coins. I guess the thief thought I wouldn’t notice? It was also a very odd experience. Like the thief knew they were stealing from a child, but somehow justified that by returning the bag with lesser-value coins. Mind-boggling behavior.
Hey, Sophie! 👋 Blessings from Ottawa!
Hello lovely Penny!xx
Awwa Sophie!!! It just breaks my heat to know someone would do such things to other people out of childishness and immaturity and of course you handled it well. So very sorry about the contents that you were out of especially the chanel#5 perfume bottle from your grandmother! ~BUT YOUR AMAZING NOW AND THOSE HATERS ARE MOST LIKELY STILL STUCK IN OR WITH IN THE CONFINES OF THEIR MEASLY LITTLE LIVES in a salon being mean to people! SMH!
Wow, that is unbelivable!! Terribly sorry about this Sophie…
How stressful to work in that environment! So sorry that happened to you. I have a thievery story about two of my LV bags i took into consignment just a few years ago. They were "purchased" with a stolen credit card so i was out the bags and no money to show for it. I consider those bags tragic losses.
Same thing happened to me, I used to work in a shoe shop when I was young and a backpacker in Australia. We didn’t have lockers just a cupboard at the cash desk that you slid open. There was always a staff member there but obviously busy as selling snd wrapping the sales. Came to leave one night, my Diesel bag was gone, which at the time was really expensive for me, had my phone wallet keys everything. I believe it was a customer who had been watching us go to our bags on breaks and saw how easy it was to access them. Bearing in mind I was a backpacker so UK bank cards etc. work didn’t care, no offer of paying me back, replacing anything or care in the slightest. I bought a new bag from the shop, no discount or anything. I couldn’t believe it.
Sorry this happened to you. Its awful especially that the shop did not even care
That is a very painful experience
That’s why i don’t trust anyone at work, most of them are from hell
And this is why I don't work in the beauty industry anymore, cause all the people in salons and beauty retail it's very snarky and catty
Wow sounds like a toxic work place. Thanks for sharing.
Young ones are very vulnerable. You should have gathered together and got legal advice. Easy to say now. The manager was a disgrace.
Thank you for the video!
Wow Sophie, that’s awful! 😡😡😡I’m sorry that happened to you. You didn’t have a locker?
What a place to work. One way to find out would have been to call your phone. If it was not shut down then it would ring and show where it was.
Really feel sadness listening to this story
I love your t-shirt Sophie! ❤️
I had my handbag stolen by a colleague as well - they set the fire alarm off (and we were taught to leave belongings behind). I never got it back, lost everything (had to have my front door locks changed and new car keys as everything was in there). It still makes me feel sick now. I am sorry you had a similar experience x
This is why, every time there is a fire alarm drill - I never leave my stuff behind. Unless your work is happy to pay for the lost belongings then forget their rules.
What a disgusting salon. They need to be named 😡. People can really be horrible beyond belief!!
What mean girls to set you up like that. You had outsmarted them and they could not pin anything on you, so stealing your stuff was their revenge. Grrr!
I'd suggest EVERYONE do a bag check in one big group before leaving, NO exceptions.
Obvious solution. Mutual accountability.
@@seabreeze4559 when i worked retail thats what we did. When we closed the store, we all had to open our bags and show them to our supervisor.
Some very sad people out there. This must have been a horrible experience for you. Big hugs xx
I had a chanel lipstick that I kept in a locker at work and it was gone. Only one person there knew I had it with me. And she happened to be the one with acess to the spare keys. But I couldn't prove it so I never said a thing. She actually had the nerve to accuse the interns. I found myself a new job. The place was horrible to work at anyway.
