safety on holiday and at home

[Deleted User]

We are going to the Italian lakes soon and I read again about being aware of bag snatchers. Last year I witnessed a bag snatch, some Italian yob on a scooter snatched the bag of a lady walking a short distance behind us. Several years ago my bag was stolen in holland by distraction thieves and it happened so quickly and silently

There isn`t a safe in the room of the second hotel so I have been doing my research and have bought pacsafe bags. A little black bag from argos that can be worn cross the body or around the waist and will be very practical for my dh to wear. A larger bag for me called a dailysafe H200 and also a pacsafe, a safe that can be fastened to anywhere in the room, while we are out. Just be aware of sneak thieves, they move like lightening. Now I will be able to clip my bag to my seat while I am eating out

It is very very traumatic when the bag carrying the important stuff gets stolen. We split everything between us anyway but I feel that we can both enjoy our holiday with easy minds now

What are your experiences away and at home?

A friend has just come back from Italy and says she kept all her cash in her bra. :rotfl: I thought you could get small bags which would tuck inside your blouse.

Not just me then I only keep around £20 in a purse in whichever bag I'm hauling around, passport in hotel safe and tickets in my locked suitcase next to the digestives !

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:cash in bra!!!

I would be forever getting funny looks when I check that it is still there

Good idea though

The bags are brilliant and we are going to feel safe on holiday this year

Not only when you check it's still there, also when you get it out to pay someone! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think that's a great idea! Those bras with the fillets in, you could take the fillets out and use as a purse :cool:

I've thought about sewing a little pocket into my knickers, at the side hem?

I wish I needed fillets :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

ahhh a pocket in the knicks, now I like that. No one would pinch my knicks, even if I forgot to take the money out

That takes me back - navy blue school uniform knickers with a pocket!

We have a soft thin wallet on a belt which DH sometimes wears under his trousers.

I've been to Italy several times and have been lucky enough not to have had anything stolen there. i had my handbag stolen in this country though!
