Protect your valuables

Protect your valuables

Don't leave your valuables lying around !  Please be aware of people trying to distract you to get hold of your belongings.

When out and about think about where and how you place your handbag or manbag in Caffeys, restaurants, clothes shops, anywhere that you could give thieves the opportunity to take your purse, wallet or even your mobile phone out of your bag or even snatch your bag its self.  Make sure your bag is always shut tight whether it is a zip closure or clip shut fastener.   Be mindful where you leave it, hanging on the back of a chair or unattended on a seat or table or out of sight. 

If you carry your mobile phone or wallet in your back pocket and it is clearly visible to others and easy to remove possibly with out you even knowing, think about how you could carry these items on you more safely to protect your self and your valuables.
