How to keep your valuables safe on holiday

It is very easy when you are relaxed and enjoying your holiday to be caught off-guard by opportunistic thieves. Having your valuables stolen on holiday can completely ruin your break and overshadow all of the good memories that you are making.

Mobile phone theft has risen by a staggering 25% in the last three years with, on average, 264 phone robberies reported to the police every day.

Remember to use your common sense. Leave valuables locked away in a safe or hidden in a secure place when you leave your accommodation. If you are going to the beach, only take what you really need- leave unnecessary valuables at home! 

Tourists on their phones in busy public places are easy targets and often find them snatched away before they even knew someone was approaching. If possible wear a bag that can be worn across your body and that has a secure zip to keep it closed.

Pickpocketing is the most common form of mobile phone theft. One in six of those who have had a phone stolen say it was taken from their bag or pocket. Make it difficult for thieves to remove your phone from your person with the Mi-Zone 2-way proximity alarm.  The Mi-Zone works with your handset or tablet and can be attached to anything you consider valuable or worth protecting. You can choose from 3 security settings: Low, medium and high, depending on the range of the security zone you wish to create and as soon as your belongings move outside of the selected zone, a flashing alert and audio alarm will be activated on your screen. Just keep your Mi-Zone tag by your side or in your pocket, and it will alert you when your handset or tablet is moved away from you.  You can also use it to locate missing handset/tablet by pressing the button on the tag for 10 seconds and, as long as it is in range, the alert will activate on your phone or tablet allowing you to pinpoint its exact location.

Don't let thieves ruin your holiday! Be prepared, aware and stay safe!
