A travel expert has explained exactly how thieves can get into your suitcase and hand luggage with ease, as well as sharing top tips on warding them off. When all of your valuables are tucked away into one case, it's difficult not to worry about its safety or whereabouts once you've handed it over at the checked-luggage desk.
And rightly so, with Sarah Adekola aka @millennialwealthsarah explaining how simple it is to break into such a travel bag using just a pen. Rather than suggesting that people refrain from going on holiday, or only taking hand luggage with them on fortnightly trips - which isn't viable whatsoever - Sarah offered some tips on keeping bags safe and secure.
Taking to TikTok, the influencer shared exactly how easy it is for thieves to crack open a locked suitcase using just a pen - by simply jamming it into the zipper and creating a gap to be rived open. Worryingly, it also works on suitcases with sturdy locks attached to them.
