Stop Pickpocket With These Anti-Theft Items

While getting ready to leave our London hotel I frantically searched for my passport, until my sister reminded me that I had put it in my money belt. It was so comfortable I forgot I had it on!

I like having paper tickets, because there is so much less scrolling. another great practice is to leave unnecessary purse/wallet stuff at home. the smaller it is, the easier it tucks away someplace it isn't easy for a thief to get at.

Haha! Loved your cheer! Somehow we never forget that stuff . . .

Something I do both traveling and in daily life is to plan ahead what personal effects I will need easy access to, while keeping everything else hidden. Before going to a gas station, I place my credit card and rewards card as needed in my shirt pocket, so I can quickly pay at the pump. When out in public, I find a place that is fairly private (toilet) to securely put away things, make certain I have correct cash for something, etc. I don’t like to fumble around in public, because I feel self-conscious. My trick is to feel in command of myself, and know what I’m doing, or look like I do.

Thanks lady for your valuable advice ❤❤❤❤❤

I love you and your cheer As well as all your wonderful tips

A note about caribiners. They are great but make sure they are the type that lock! I use the Nite-Ize S-clips with little tabs that secure the clip so it’s much harder for a thief to just thumb off.

Great tips, Laurie! Thank you. I always learn something new from your videos. This spring in Rome, my wallet was stolen from my travel safe cross-body purse while on a crowded train and I had to use both hands to keep my balance. The guy next to me was able to unlock and unzip my purse, grab my wallet, then he was gone. I learned the hard way to always keep one hand on my purse!

Hello, thank you very much for your advice.

I have learned so much from you about traveling overseas. Thank you!!

I have one of those scarves. They work so well. I made it myself. Very simple to make.

Your travel suggestions and information are so helpful, Thank You!

Thank you Lauroe for the tips! I can't wait until I get to go to Europe and use all your travel tips.❤

Laurie, you're so fun and have very practical and helpful tips. Thanks!

You’re such a joy and full of experience. Thank you so very much for making everything so smooth!! <3

I like these suggestions, so fun to be safe and hide stuff. Thank you for sharing!

I used a slim running belt made by Lululemon ,bought large size, put credit cards and some cash inside, strapped around chest under armpits. Then put on bra. The actual zippered pocket area fell comfortably across breast bone, easy for me to access, easy to hide under collar. Felt very safe. Passport was inside a Hero brand neck wallet and tied onto the strap of my small thick strapped cross body ( also from lululemon)and laid at the bottom inside that purse. Could bring out the passport neck wallet when needed it if I was in a tsa line. Traveled through Eutope two weeks and felt safe. Your videos are very helpful thank you so much.

Hi, Laurie! I've been enjoying your videos for some time now, but this is my first time commenting. I wear a cross-body bag every day....even at home. When dining out, I slip the strap off my shoulder and down around my waist, tucking the purse between my hip/leg and the arm of the chair, keeping my bag attached to me, not the chair. I just returned from a trip where I used a bra purse to hold cash and credit card that I wasn't planning on using that day. It worked great!

Thanks

I use an RFID case so I absolutely love these tips especially the underwear, scarf and hairbrush and tracker bracelet. Brilliant 👌🏾
