How to Pickpocket Proof your purse or shoulder bag $1.95 by download  
         If you travel or live and work in crowded areas it's especially easy for pickpockets to steal your valuables from your purse or shoulder bag while you are wearing it. And you won't feel a thing!  
         Sometimes they work alone, sometimes with an accomplice to distract your attention or to bump you. Sometimes they watch at the ATMs to see where you put your cash. But generally, when something appears too difficult, a pickpocket will move on to another target. You can make stealing from your purse very difficult.  
         If you have a purse or shoulder bag, like in the picture, where the straps fasten at the ends, you can make it virtually pickpocket proof. Ordinarily your zippered compartment, where you keep your valuables, opens too easily to stop a skilled pickpocket. But attaching a couple of small items from the hardware store to your zipper tab keeps it easy for you to open but makes it just about impossible for a pickpocket. It's almost like putting a lock on it.  
         The items will probably cost you two dollars or so and five minutes of your time. Full directions are given in this 1 page article in PDF. Caution: This will NOT work on all purses, only the ones where straps fasten at the ends.
