just wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to keep valuables safe while traveling this beautiful country. I am looking into safes but not sure which one to buy .
Never leave phones, iPads or wallets laying around even if you are just there and always put them away at night before going to bed, we know of people having them stolen at night from open windows, buggers just cut the fly wire.
Also alway lock your door at night before going to bed, this has been the biggest issue we have come across. We have even put one of those Winslow alarms on the door which we set each night.
Our passports are kept separate from all other ID.
Hi Loulybelle. I use a small safe that is disguised as a power point. You just turn the screw in the middle of the plate and the face plate hinges down and you have a small container to put money, Passports, jewelery etc in. It cost me $40.00. Very simple for a handyman to install. I do have a spare one, so if you or anyone else wants it, send me a PM.
There is also some good advise from others. never leave valuable items on seats or areas where they can easily be seen from the outside. This encourages thieves to simply smash a window and take what they want.
