A 'secret' container to hold dinner tickets and change?

Write his name on the ticket? Might put them off - the sock idea sounds good (won't cling with money noise) - i'd suggest a pair of towelling ones washed in teabags (that look mucky and "crunchy")

Already do that, but it's no good if he comes home on say a Tuesday evening saying that days ticket was missing, as the ticket will already have been used - iyswim, so can't be caught by the canteen staff. I really like the sock idea too.

can you get a holdall that you can lock with a cheap combination padlock - generally if there's a softer target they'll move onto the unlocked back - cutting one open too much like "stealing"

no teenagers nick fruit - padded with a sock? http://www.lakeland.co.uk/10380/Banana-Guard?src=gfeed&gclid=COnwoL_al7ICFYcLfAodrCIAgw

Also a good idea! I'm obviously thinking of this from the wrong angle. I should be thinking what won't an adolescent/teenager go near and hide them in that - a soap container? :rotfl:

My son has one of these - he used it when he went to music festivals, but I'm sure it would do just as well for your son.

I wouldnt use the banana case just because if a teen boy see`s it in a bag i can imagine other pupils being chased around the school with it all day!

Unless that was just the lads i went to school with

It would be some much simpler if he was a girl- just stuff it in the bra I know I'd have been delighted when I was 13 if my Mum had suggested extra "padding" for my bra.
OP I hope he gets on better this year. If people are stealing it then putting it in different things every few days will help. Little !!!!!!s.

this might be too small, but I saw coin ones too somewhere, my mum got note ones to make just giving the grandkids cash for xmas a bit more fun.
