One thing struck me about your post, Kate, you said your bag is "open". I have several handbags and they all have very secure zips, plus zipped compartments inside. I am very wary about having anything stolen so the bag is always zipped up and carried on my shoulder with my hand firmly over the zipped top. When using an ATM (always inside the bank, if possible, not on the street) I always have the bag round to my front - pressed up against the machine - and keep my hand over the card slot until it pops out, then over the money slot until the cash arrives. I've heard so many horror stories I'm like a walking Fort Knox - or I'm just paranoid.
