Theft has been a serious issue for all general folks, but digital assets are more prone to be robbed off and in such world of cyber-insecurities, nothing is predicted. 

But, all that we the consumers can do is to raise our level of consciousness, taking as much as security measures in place, use of authenticators or whatever to shield them. 

Because, nobody solid enough to back them up.  Thanks for bringing the important message up.👍

I hate those security rooms.  They are such a joke.  I had to do that once and it was just this big banquet room with zero locks on the door.  Anyone could have walked in there.  Things like that stress me out totally!  My wife and I are flying for the first time in a while this fall.  I won a TILE from a conference I was at and I am definitely going to be using it on that trip with my luggage.

really bro, you should check all your things.

I do hope you have a safe and *secure* trip home. I understand what you are saying about business, especially banks being accountable for security. I am increasingly aggravated when I hear about another security breach. That said, I think business is really challenged right now for online security vs. ease of use due to the existing generational and educational gap. We still have people like us, or at least me, who were not raised with computers in the classroom or the home. Yes, I learned, but that was due to my occupational requirements put me on that path. Could it be that these security breaches and challenges become less as this gap lessens in the future?

This hits too close to home. My mother was recently scammed by text and over the phone when she received a call about fraud on her credit card from the number printed on the back of her credit card. Turned out they just spoofed the number and the "agent" wasn't from the bank. But once the criminal earned my mother's trust by matching the phone number to the one of her card, she didn't think to question some of the questionable actions this person had her do to deal with the fraud on her account. Completely maddening as my 70 year old mom just isn't that sharp when it comes to modern technology and of course the bank says we would never ask you to do those things... Bullocks!

There is aotion on going in my country that say,**SECURITY IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY**, some years back you'd receive a call saying it's the bank Asking you to provide some vital details to your account cause they want to correct and error in the system., I know how many folks fell for it,and they tried it on me,I almost gave in,before my subconscious told me, why don't you just go to the bank at once, that's when I knew it was a scam

I use to feel the same way especially when I have very important valuables in there it's normal, 

Im glad you've finally come to the end of your great vacation, now it's back to business as usual...

Being robbed is such a cold chill.
We were robbed 2x in my old house, once when my kids were right down the hallway.
I have been a little paranoid since.
It really sucks, just like the banking system, the little guy always takes the hits.

>it is the consumer who pays the largest price, no matter what it is.

That's right. If bank robbery happen or somehow money stolen from Bank they impose it to general people as subsidy. The amount of it distributed among everyone and that is the reason various kind of charges are increasing in bank little by little. I think very few people knows that why every year the service charge/tax increasing. 

It's tough but I also don't trust leaving my luggage out there for everyone to touch. It's not their stuff so they won't really care that much about the luggage there and even if you check the cameras, the people might have ran off already. 

As for SMS, I kind of agree because there are so many SIM swap problems where people get their information compromised due to it.

I agree with you. I rarely trust the security rooms, especially when all the people can get access to it. That's not security. It becomes a "Schopenhauer room" meaning that at the same time, until you do not take them out, there are the bags and there are not. 

Companies arrange contracts in such a way that consumers are responsible for any problems that may arise. Fortunately, there is high competition among banks in Turkey; they are sensitive about security issues and apply multi-stage security procedures.

We have so many scam activities like the one that happened in Australia in my country too. It is the work of scammers and someone still told me that something similar to this happened yesterday but he was so smart that he did not fall for the scam...
Make sure you have a safe trip

Me and my friends experienced something similar last year, around this time. On our last day we checked out and kept all our luggage in a room at the hotel, it was a small some type of a small shack, where guests could keep their luggage and the staff would take care of the rest. So, we left about 10 to 12 bags and suitcases there.

Then we headed out in the morning, and came back about 8 hours later. Fortunately, everything was left untouched. However, it was one of the fanciest resorts in the country, a lot of staff and security, which gave us a bit of assurance. But if the resort wasn't as "fancy", and was instead a smaller establishment, then maybe things wouldn't have gone our way.

Yet, if anything were to go missing, I'm pretty sure the resort wouldn't compensate us in any way, no matter how big the resort or hotel is.
