Look just how easy it is to access locked luggage, make sure when you buy a case or flight luggage that you test the zip. It’s also worth mentioning that some luggage and baggage itself is a target for crocks.
Expensive bags such as say a north face kit bag can cost £250. So that bag alone is worth stealing forget the contents. Also remember if the luggage looks expensive the chances are the contents are valuable. The best luggage to travel with is strong battered cases, put on stickers and kick it around a bit if it’s new. New shiny expensive cases just draw unwanted attention. Remember it’s not just about having stuff stolen, it’s about keeping your and your family from being targeted.
Expensive sports bags are the same, don’t advertise your wealth… be smart, think smart don’t let ego put a target on your back..
