Hi All,
This is just a quick note to let people on the board know about a product I have used for the last year of my travels. It has been such a benefit to me I thought some of you might benefit as well.
It's called a PacSafe. There are several models and sizes but I prefer the PacSafe 100. It's a portable, soft, flat, safe to place your valuables in when there isn't a safe deposit box handy. It is made out of cloth and a steel wire mesh with an attached "draw string" of wire cable and a locking device to cinch the bag together. There is enough cable to then wrap the whole thing around a pole or tree or something sturdy and it was designed with that in mind. I use mine all the time in hotel rooms without safe boxes and especially the beach but it could be easily used in a car or on a motorcycle. It will not stop someone with a bolt cutter but it will stop the casual thief! The PacSafe 100 costs only about $40 and will hold a wallet, cell phone, camera as well as keys and a few additional smaller items. It's size is more than enough for my needs.
I should get a commission for the sale of these but alas I do not......
Here is a good site explaining the product but do a google and find others: http://www.corporatetravelsafety.com/tr ... e_100.html (http://www.corporatetravelsafety.com/travel_safe_100.html)
