Portable Travel Safes

Nothing takes the fun out of a vacation like becoming the victim of petty crime. Whether it’s a camera snatch and grab while you are eating at an outdoor cafe, cash skimming from a hotel safe or bag-slicing on a crowded train, these types of crimes can ruin a vacation and leave us feeling constantly paranoid when we travel. Most crimes committed against travelers are simple crimes of opportunity; unprotected wallets, a maid that knows the master code to your in-room safe, or a gang of thieves targeting areas where distracted tourists and their luggage congregate.

There are ways to make you and your belongings less attractive to these criminals by making your belongings more difficult to steal. Meet the portable safe. These are exactly as they are named - portable safes. Being portable, you will have to work harder to find something sturdy to anchor them to but once you do, criminals will probably just pass them by because they are will require more time and effort than they are willing to exert for a little cash or a camera. They come in various sizes and form factors so there is sure to be one that will suit your needs.
