Over 400,000 women in the UK have had their handbag stolen from their car in the past year, new research has revealed.
Those who are taking out car insurance are being advised by Diamond to keep their valuables hidden away as the total cost of those stolen bags amounts around £178 million.
Managing director of the company Sian Lewis said: "In the run up to the festive season thieves will be on the look out for easy targets so however stressed out and rushed you are to find that perfect present, you should never leave anything on show in your unattended car that could attract a potential thief."
The average value of a woman's handbag and its contents, not including the cost of replacing car and house keys, was found to be £431.68.
Last week research by Direct Line found that up to 93 per cent of motorists driving safely on the roads can be forced into speeding by other people tailgating them.
