Seriously; this is so simple, yet probably really, really effective in deterring pick-pocketers, no? So the next time you are heading to the beach (or pool-side) make sure you bring a (clean) nappy. And then, when you need to leave your valuables unattended for a bit to take a dip, just place your phone, keys, wallet, and whatever else inside the nappy and place it next to your towel or beach bag. And voila; safe – because surely no-one is going to try to snatch what appears to be a used nappy... Have YOU tried this trick before? Or have you any other beach hacks you'd like to share?
