4. That makes it worse.

You feel someone playing with $10,000 worth of stuff (not to mention your DHS access pass) and you don't even bother to take a quick peek to confirm it is your grandchildren?

11. Why did the host let some random guy wander around the dining room?

Generally at a fine dining place one has to check in with a host before entering the dining area?

Fixed it.

6. How old is her grandchild?

Couldn't be more than like 6 or 7?

Was she drunk?

10. Were her SS drinking with her?

Who was with her? Was it a date?

7. She must have been 3 cocktails in.

Professional purse snatchers know how to read the signs of inebriation.

Sounds like dirty martinis and an intravenous unit might have been involved...
