Travelon Carry-Safe Anti-Theft Hobo Bag Purse Security Features
The Travelon CarrySafe Anti-Theft Hobo Bag features three built-in purse security anti-theft and anti-pickpocket features that are specifically designed to protect the bag’s valuables from street thieves and nimble handed pickpockets. The purse security features are as follows:
Security with style. Travelon Carry-Safe Anti-Theft Pocket Hobo Bag has four security features to keep your travel purse at hand and contents secure.
The shoulder strap of this security purse features steel cable-reinforced, cut-proof shoulder strap in order to prevent thieves who may attempt to cut the strap of your purse from behind. The “Chain Link” design will makes the purse strap very difficult to cut without your knowledge. The Chain Link Strap is much stronger than an ordinary plain leather purse strap and was designed to withstand a very strong pull which may break an ordinary strap in such situations.
Security “Chain Link” Steel Mesh Embedded in Bag Material Preventing Purse Slash Thefts
Embedded in between the inside and outside material of the Carry-Safe Anti-Theft Security Purse is a light metal wire mesh that covers the bottom and lower portions of the security purse. This security purse feature is to prevent a thief from cutting the bottom or sides of the purse, thus preventing the bags contents from falling out. This type of theft typically occurs in crowed locations such as subways, busses, elevators, escalators, ferries, or other congested locations where a women may be packed against someone in a stationary position.
Security “Anti-Pickpocket” Purse Locking Security Zippers Prevents Pickpockets from Stealing Valuables from your Purse without Your Knowledge
As written previously, pickpockets are very prevalent and skilled, especially in international destinations. Typically, pickpockets who target women’s purses are female pickpockets, or young children who will stand beside you, unzip your purse zipper and remove your wallet without your knowledge. The Travelon Carry-Safe Anti-Theft Hobo Bag stops this type of theft cold in its tracks with its built-in security zipper locks which are mounted on the purse.
To use the purse zipper locks, simply zip the purse shut, then lock the zipper down with the zipper lock security catch. While you know how to unlock the purse zipper, a thief would not. The Hobo Travel features two tamper proof security zippers, one which secures the main compartment, and the other protecting the zippered compartment on the outside of the travel purse.
Another dreaded scenario that many tourists have faced over the years is the “snatch and run” purse theft. You find a nice little corner café to enjoy the meal or coffee and sit at an outdoor table. You place your purse on a chair next to you and begin to enjoy your meal and sights when someone comes up to you and begins to ask questions about directions or other subject. You politely answer the questions; however your attention was briefly diverted from your purse. A few mins after the “accidental tourist” diverted your attention and walked away, you notice your purse gone off the chair next to you. What happened was that while the “accidental tourist” diverted your attention, a confederate of his or her, removed your purse without you knowledge.
This type of theft is easily preventing by using the Travelon Anti-Snatch” security purse strap. The carry strap of the purse easily detaches from the fashion ring at one end of the bag, allowing the strap to be secured to your chair arm, then the strap secures back to the purse – thereby preventing casual purse snatching. This ingenious feature is built into the Travelon security purse and it virtually unseen by anyone looking at the purse. This purse security feature is designed around a carbineer type metal clip.
