I was conceived in Scotland, so maybe that's why I was so thrilled with my polka dot 10tl LC Waikiki back pack that I used for my recent trip to Istanbul.
It has a nice flap that conceals the zip, i would defy any pickpocket to get in there without me knowing about it.
Seriously though, I'm sure the last hand bag snatch was by someone on a red scooter and thanks for the warning.
Stay safe everyone.
