In my wallet I carry just enough cash for the day. My slacks and skirts have deep pockets in which I carry my wallet and digital camera. When walking through a crowd I keep my hands in my pockets. My purse has nothing valuable - just useful items like a hairbrush, sunblock etc. This has worked well for me.

That was a few years ago and I havent lost anything since. I agree with you that anything that is important to you should be carried in your carry on bag. I also have a handbag that has a cross body strap and I push it to the front and keep one hand on it as I nearly got pickpocketed in China at The Great Wall but luckily I felt it near my hand.

When the casette player was stolen from my car several years ago, I think I was more grieved by the loss of the Carole King tape that was in it!

I know it’s illegal, but it’s only for my own use, I make copies of my CDs for use in the car or in my personal player.

Somehow, he parked my vehicle in the biggest ant pile in the world. I went to clean the ants out the car and placed the cd case on the roof of the vehicle. I’m embarrassed to say that I drove over Mobile Bay, but the cd case had disappeared by the time we reached the other side. I think he is still angry at me about it.

That was not pretty... I now have our name and cell numbers on the new one (filled with new $1 DVDs from Wal-mart). Helpful if some good samaritan finds it; not helpful if it's a meany thief.

I can't tell you how many times I have lost my cell phone while traveling. Once I left in the hotel shuttle on the way to the airport - I did get that one back. :) Terrific post!
