Zip it up!

August 28, 2007 Paris B 1 Comment

 

pickpocket

 

I have a bad habit that I have noticed, many women share.

I tend not to zip up my handbag after I have taken things out from it. These aren’t handbags without zips. They have zips – I just tend to forget to zip them back up.

Its a bad habit I’ve been trying to kick for a long time. Granted, I take extra care with my belongings and I hold my bag close to my body. But you just never know what undesirable thing might happen one day.

I was prompted to write this because I just noticed again how careless I am (although I am usually very careful) this morning when I alighted from my car. My bag was gaping wide because I’d just put my keys into it and other than the fact everything inside could drop out if I were to accidentally tip the bag over, I was opening myself to being pickpocketed.

I’ve noticed that this is common among many women, many of whom think that by having a hand-held bag, the chances of things getting stolen is less. If I can see the wallet and mobile phone in their bags, within easy reach especially while standing in a queue, I’m sure pickpockets can too.

This is a public service warning from Paris B! 🙂

    thanks for the reminder! 😀
    I sometimes tend to forget to zip as well, it’s just too easy to forget. I also do not like bags that with just a button to hold the gap, it seems too easy for things to drop out

    PB says: Yep that’s why I’m quite insistent to find bags with zips but some designs don’t have them. Thankfully I don’t have many of those. Remember to zip it up! 🙂
