One Aucklander has been reunited with her handbag after she was confronted by a polite bag snatcher.
The woman pulled into a driveway when an unknown man parked behind her in a van and another jumped out and then snatched her handbag straight off her lap. The snatcher even had the "audacity to say thank you" before driving away.
The incident occurred in a shared driveway in the central suburb of Mt Eden.
In a post to the North Shore, Rodney & West Auckland Police Facebook page, police state the incident occurred on the morning of April 22.
