Today, while on vacation with my family, my mother told me to put my phone in her purse, so it wouldn't get stolen. Someone stole her purse. FML

You'd think a phone in a pocket would be harder to steal than a phone in a purse, it's a smaller target and closer to your body. I'm sure at least someone had to have been wearing something with pockets.

This totally ruins the saying: "Mothers know best".

Smoke signal them! Steal, er, borrow someone else's phone!

Maybe the guy who stole your moms purse wanted to steal your number...yeah I'm bad at puns

How ironic. I bet your mum feels terrible.

I always keep my phone in my hand or pocket.

Whatever you do, don't put your virginity in her purse!

OP can't because the mom doesn't have the purse. Problem averted :)

Also, virginity is concept that can't be carried in a purse.

Definitely sucks for you, but not anywhere near as much as it sucks for your mom. Its a lot easier (not to mention cheaper!) to replace a phone than the entire contents of a purse, which probably included cash, credit cards, ID cards, passport(s), etc.

Where was your vacation exactly?? Edit: I'm guessing Detroit?

Looks like someone is in new phone territory, I would also never let ma dukes live that down.

well then...that's the worst irony I have ever read...
