kids backpack zipper pulls image
1musicnut
Do those "undergarment" pouches really work? I have one that goes under the waistline of the pants and another that hangs from a string around your neck under your shirt. I'd like to have as little as possible in my pockets!
Also, I WILL have to carry a small bag (and i look like a tourist anyway...fat, white, blue eyes), so would little padlocks on the zippers be a good idea? Seems like pickpockets on a train or bus would rather go after someone with an easier bag to get in. Am I right??
Any other ideas that might help??
Answer
When we went on our cruise to the Mediterranian and had stops in Rome and some other cities, like Barcelona, we were told to watch for pickpockets. I had read about them before leaving home and so I got one of those pouches that has an elastic waste band and I would put it down in my drawers. My wife did the same. I had my passport and all of my currency in it except what I planned to use immediately that day. I carried another pouch on a string around my neck, but also completely under my clothes. I only pulled it out if I was transacting business and then put it back.
Another pickpocket trick I read about is that one person will spill or spray something on your clothes and then pretend to help you wipe it off. The best advice is to not let anyone you don't know get near you. At one stop in Spain the tour guide pointed out a pickpocket who had a camera around his neck and was trying to pose as a tourist. So be very cautious, wary and aware of people you don't know. My wife uses the little blue plastic zip ties for her bags and backpacks to keep the zippers closed. You can get those at Brookstones.
The Gypsies will be the worse. they hang out around the tourists stops with their hands out and trying to play on your sympathies with kids on their hip.

Babysitting girls that are A handful?
Q. I babysit these sisters who are 7 and 8 and they love to look at my things.
Like if i leave the room and my backpack or purse is on the table or whatev they will grab it and shuffle through my junk and like pull out stuff like my locket that has a picture of my best friend and they are all like "Sadie is this ur boyfriend ooh!Sadie and a boy sitting in a tree" and u get the rest and this was terrible
most embaressing thing ever
The girls got my purse(It was up on a shelf and the moved the chair and stood on phone books and got it down and they dropped it and my....."Girl Stuff" fell out and They were like"What are those Sadie?"
and they ask me questions that i don't wanna answer
like
"Why do u alway's turn red when u see our brother?"
"How come Boogers are green?"(ewww)
and the ever so famous
"Where do baby's come from?"
what should i do?
And i want to keep the job so don't recomend i quit!
the girls are very curious and they have to use my stuff like if i have to stay the night there i wil bring a change ofclothes and they will have to use my clothes like they take my tops and put them on and spill stuff on it and ruin it!
and if i have any jewelry they need to ruin it like pull on it till it breaks or lose them and i keep them in a drawer that they cant reach but they always find a way
I love these girls they are sweet but the just get into everything.

Tell them to ask their parents certain questions and as for them going through your stuff, stop bringing it unless you need it that night. You can also put a padlock through the metal zipper pulls on most backpacks so they can't get in even if they wanted to. Kids taunt each other and will taunt you--you should expect that. So, sing annoying songs and make fun of them, too! They can take it and they may have a great sense of humor! As for the booger thing--just say IDK and look it up online!
