How do you lock your bags? I am carrying a convertible duffel bag/backpack. Even if I ran a cable thru some of the sewn on loops, it would be a quick cut to take it away. Any suggestions? |
Sometimes you can sew on D rings that you can run a lock through. The lock doesn't stop people from getting in but it makes it easier to detect that someone has been in your stuff. For safety boxes I have a lockable pouch for money and other papers I want to safe keep. Same thing, this lockable bag doesn't stop someone from stealing from the safety box but it immediately shows tampering.
If something shows up missing in your hotel room my first thought is not the hotel staff but guests you bring in! Out of sight - out of mind! Leave it home if it is very valuable! I never leave a laptop out in plain sight. Even if a maid comes in the room I cover it over. What they don't know - they don't know! When I leave the room the laptop goes in the bag out of sight!
Have fun.
