We held a family get together at Steel Lake Park on the March 29. The park is beautiful but beware of what is lurking in the parking lot.

My daughter, who is a single parent of three and working a low-wage job, had her purse stolen out of her car. The purse was hidden under a diaper bag — yes, one of the doors was unlocked — her card was used within minutes of the theft.

All other items in her purse including cash — gone. This is a lady who works very hard, even getting to the event took a bit of navigation as she works weekends. Sad. Oh, did I mention one of her children is disabled with hypoplastic left heart syndrome?

Shame on those who did this and to all of you beware of this parking lot.
