A partial opened backpack full of set mousetraps and rubber snakes would be interesting to watch. A video of that would be priceless.

All valuables, Passport, cards, cash, all in a money pouch under your clothing . NEVER leave your bag on the back of your chair, and no smart phone on the table . Sleep well .

We are going with the whole family and some friends to Italy in July. I told ALL the women to carry Travelon bags. Stainless steel mesh, wire strap, RDIF for credit cards, and locks on ALL the pockets. My husband is going to carry one as well. My ordinary bag was slashed in Rome and someone tried to pick my husbands pockets several years ago. I also told all of them NEVER lay your phone on a table. Always secure it in your bag. They very quickly snatch them too! Love from Florida..BTW..you have beautiful hands!

We used a metro escape to scare the pickpockets in 2019, entering a train just before the doors closed. The pickpockets, who ran after us for some time, kept banging on the door, but the train left the station and one of the pickpockets almost fell into the track! Absolute W!
Then we were not targeted again due to a possible blacklist from many pickpockets due to our actions!

As a man, I always wear a travel vest with all pockets on the inside zipped up. I never keep anything in my pants pocket. Never had a problem. Its hard to convince ladies to wear one because they are too attached to their pocketbooks and shoulder bags.

I love they way she explains very carefully like you have be carefull for everything.
Very genuine and excellent value for us.
Thanks remembering us.

Walk around with a shoulder bag with many razor blades leave it hanging open and then enjoy the show and also as a bonus its in colour

Great video!! I’ve used a Travelon small backpack and a purse for years. They’ve gone throughout France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Costa Rica and the Caribbean on multiple trips and have held up incredibly well. Granted we have never been targeted but better safe than sorry!!!

Our encounter happened in Paris 2015, those 3 gypsies were 12, 13, 14 something. Thankfully a young Frenchman warned us in loud voice to be alert. That's inside the subway train

I carry a Travelon crossbody, but it *Only* has one CC and a small amount of cash. My passport, extra CC and cash are under my clothes in a soft, comfortable lingerie fabric bag ( Amazon), more comfortable than a regular money belt. I have my phone on a lanyard, and if I'm using a backpack it only has a rain jacket, water bottle, snacks etc. I've witnessed suitcase theft on trains, so definitely keep them close to you.

Yes, I was robbed of everything in Milan at a stop light to cross the street. I did not know it until I reached the restaurant and put my purse on the table and it was empty, all zippers open and empty, (passport, glasses, money, credit cards). Then....I remembered how I was surrounded at the cross walk. Then we had to spend the next two days getting a new passport AFTER filing a police report (important).

[IrishAnnie]

No backpacks! Keep our bag locked and in front of you at all times. I told all the moms to be careful. They are always soft targets trying to keep up with the kids.

I was pick pocketed on my first trip abroad in Cannes, south of France back in the 1980s, lesson learnt!Nothings changed, it’s the same everywhere, not just Europe!

[MeMe-bstc]

Thank you for showing and explaining the features of your new Travelon bags! I like them!

Nice video!!! Thanks. Sherpani is a great brand that had many different types of traveling bags that are safe and pretty.

[Operabracelets]

Just want to mention that many travelons are slash resistant or their handle/straps are. The big clip on the strap let’s you put it though the back, arm, or leg of a chair so if someone goes to snatch it they’ll be dragging the whole chair with them, alerting all around.

I don’t carry a wallet or purse. I travel spring, fall and wear a light black raincoat that has four deep 10” pockets, 2 inside. I make an RFID wallet the size of my debit, I’d, 2 credit cards. Put cash in one and that tiny wallet on inside I wear a small crossbody underneath my raincoat with some cash that I can reach at the counter pretty quickly.. I also wear a money belt under everything and only go in it in a bathroom stall. Funny I lived in London 2 years in 77-78 and did wear a purse but always held it close in crowds. My husband, 6’2” USA marine caught a pickpocket in his pocket and twisted that jerks hand so bad in the tube station, Marble Arch. Pickpocket got hurt, he deserved it (happened as soon as train pulled up and doors opened). Didn’t have phones back then.

I've been very lucky so far in my travels. I have not yet been pick pocketed. I don't carry anything of value while out and I also got locks for my zippers on my crossbody bag.
