MAN. Purse AND empeg at once. If your wallet was in there, i can't imagine a worse feeling... if i'd have lost my wallet and empeg in one day, it would have been a million times worse... the empeg is replaceable, and hopefully so was everything in your bag. Hopefully this guy didn't know what the hell he got and will be dumb enough to pawn it or auction it. Check the pawn shops in the area and like Laura mentioned, check the dumpsters and garbage... that's exactly what happened when my mothers purse got snatched, they grabbed the wallet and tossed the purse in the trash.

Ugh. I feel your pain. Good luck recovering it.
