My 77 year old Mum wears her rucksack everywhere. She often wears it 'the wrong way round' on her back, so that the pockets actually are against her back.
She has also been known to wear it in a similar fashion on her front.

Admittedly my Mum is a little strange and a hippy but having said that she has never had her bag snatched. Neither have I but that's probably because I carry an AK47 everywhere with me.

Thanks Toky,but need to bling it up a bit.  8)   ;D
I have never had my bag snatched either.  Keep it between me and Phil and it's safe enough. 
Colwyn that one is far too cheap,  ;D  ;)

Mrs Scunner's last handbag was £15 reduced to £7.50 - that's why I love her  ;)

The bike that snatched the handbag is a red Motor bike/scooter with the number plate turned up so you can't read it. Keep and eye out for it around the Calis area.

Surely the polis or gendarme would pull him over if his number plate was not on show

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.
