CHELSEA — A German club-goer shaking her stuff on the dance floor later discovered her $3,200 Chanel purse — containing her passport — was missing, police said.

The 28-year-old victim was dancing a few feet away from her belongings at the Gilded Lily at 408 W. 15th St. on Oct. 17 around 1:00 a.m. when she noticed her purse had been snatched out from beneath her jacket, police said. 

Inside the missing bag, the woman had a Louis Vuitton wallet and other items worth $1,200 as well as her German passport and visa, she told police. In total, the missing loot was worth $4,440, according to police.
