Hello girls 😀!
Another sunny and hot Sunday, finally the long-awaited spring 🌼.
Today I overslept because the clocks changed, and when I woke up, the time I intended to get up had already passed. I had arranged a walk with my beloved granddaughters.
Nothing like this calming presence to forget the stress I experienced yesterday at the shop.
I was so angry and frustrated with myself because I noticed the theft. The shop was full of customers, and by the time I ran, it was too late. The wicked woman got into a car and fled! For those who aren't aware of what I'm talking about, I'll give a brief summary:
Yesterday, a woman with a large build (around 130kg), wearing a polka-dot dress and huge blonde extensions (not at all inconspicuous), entered the shop. Apparently, a common, serious, and honest person (as we think all customers are) – but no! I was serving two customers in the shop, and Carina was ironing some clothes in the back. The worst part is that something felt off, and I should have followed my instinct. I never judge anyone, but sometimes I should! It was just enough time for me to be at the till processing a sale. With all her bulk, she blocked the view, but something clicked in my mind. When I ran, she had already gotten into a car 😡😡😡.
So, the loss was a Lola blazer for €199 and a Foursoul dress that I didn't even have time to show 😡😞. The worst part is that nothing fit her because the lady is simply obese!
I checked the cameras, and it clearly shows the theft, which in this case, becomes a crime since it exceeds €260, according to the police, it's considered a crime!!!
Like any citizen, I tried to warn other colleagues and publish the image. What I find incredible are certain comments concerned about the images, saying things without knowing and asking senseless questions. Everyone is a hero; I'd like to see some people working from Monday to Saturday, often more than 10 hours a day, and then at the end of the week, some abnormal person comes in and steals just because!!!
My shop is my livelihood; it's like a child to me, and as a mother, I turn into a beast when someone messes with my loved ones or my things. Or is it different for you? So why certain comments? The lack of empathy from some people is so great that there are no words…
As always, I have a lucky star, and we already have leads 💪🏻.
The biggest coincidence was that night, at the same restaurant I went to, the owners of Foursoul (I confess I didn't know them) entered out of nowhere. I was dressed head to toe in Foursoul (helpful), and they were super friendly and supportive! I love Portuguese brands because we are generally supportive of each other!
Thank you!
Thank you all for sending messages, some of them very important, which helped us get to the lady!
In the end, I hope everything will turn out well 🫶. God doesn't fail those He protects! Thank you, God!
Well, I've updated you on the week's events 🤣, now I'm going to continue enjoying some family time!!!
As you already know, we are closed tomorrow, but we will be posting content about new arrivals 🥰
Grateful for everything and a huge kiss to your hearts 💕
With Love
