If she was legitimately trying to find out who it belonged to, how else would she do it?

I do not think this was illegal in Ga. It sounds like the other person was trying to help you by return your property.

This is not a legal question. Many people would do what she did if there was an apparently lost or misplaced purse. Many would not. The act described does not constitute a criminal offense or a civil wrong. Don't let your disapproval of this conduct become an issue with a co-worker or you may risk your own employment.

It does not sound actionable. Keep you purse with you or securely stored.
