The travel hack you didn't know you needed: Don't get your bag stolen ever again
Social media is a treasure trove of intriguing knowledge and tips that can often be used during travel. Jeff and Lauren are online creators who share useful tricks almost every day. The ones shown in recent videos should appeal to tourists.
While on vacation, getting lost in carefree relaxation and sightseeing is easy, which can lead to a loss of vigilance. Cunning pickpockets and other scammers often take advantage of this. The trick Jeff and Lauren demonstrated can help us avoid becoming victims of thieves.
Travel tricks
"I always do this!" wrote a woman who demonstrated how she secures her bag with a cable tie. Jeff threads the cable tie through the buckle of his fanny pack and tightens it so that a thief cannot quickly unfasten and steal it. The woman presents everything in an instructional video.
This trick seems particularly useful when visiting crowded places. For instance, in Rome or Spanish cities, near the most popular monuments, it's crowded almost year-round. In such crowds, we might not even notice someone unfastening our purse.
Dozens of these cable ties cost just a few dollars and can save us from potential loss.
Simple ways can help in travel
This is not the only travel trick that uses a cable tie. A tourist shows how to deal with a partially broken zipper. To make it easier to close and open the suitcase, you can thread a cable tie through the place where the handle should be. You shouldn't fully tighten it. This will replace a broken handle, and the suitcase will remain useful for future travels.
