How A Thief Opens Your Suitcase
Well, here it is.

This is the way a bag is opened at the airport without your knowledge.
Many people have things missing from their baggage,
even when they received them
at the arrival port UNOPENED and UNTOUCHED!!!! :shock: :shock:

How did the thief (at the airport) do it? :?: :?:

And think of this in your hotel room!
How many of us lock things in our
suitcases when we leave the room?

Or you can use lockable straps.

I only ever take my tramping bag (take suit/s hand luggage if needed) overseas and use a wire cage kind of thing that slides over it as well as locking the zips. Even if someone cuts a hole in my bag they would struggle to get anything but my scented undies out through the gaps.

Nothing is ever 100% secure so all you can do is make it as hard as possible for would be f-wits to get at it and hope they are lazy enough to move onto something else that looks easy.
