The thief then made a quick getaway, carrying the Hermes shoulder Birkin bag on her arm Question marks about the incident remain after it emerged that Ms Joostema did not report the theft to the police, instead posting it online Ms Joostema has called for people to help identify the woman who brazenly took her bag This is the moment the influencer realised her Birkin was gone as she sprinted out of the changing room Posting the video to Instagram, Ms Joostema said she saw the woman poke her head round the door but assumed she was 'looking for the bathroom'. Ms Joostema was in a VIP changing room at the time of the theft, with her bag on a table The model thanks everyone for their support after 'losing faith in humanity' Ms Joostema's holiday to Switzerland was cancelled because the passport was also stolen 'I believe everything happens for a reason but it's really sad to know people exist in the world committing such acts of crime against other humans.'
