Keeping Your Gadgets Safe
These days keeping your gadgets safe is becoming more and more difficult what with criminals being gadget savy, tighter restrictions at airports and new combination gadgets (think iTouch or iPhone media player/phone/etc).
UK Gadget Shops has a few tips to Keeping Your Gadgets Safe:
- Dont check in expensive gadgets with your airport baggage as officials have power to check bags and have been known to relieve bags of goodies such as expensive phones and iPods.
- Dont ‘flash’ your top of the line phone or iPod in a bar or train station or bus terminal, there may be people watching.
- Write down serial numbers of devices for insurance purposes.
- Dont leave desirable items in full view when you leave them in the car, use the glove box or under a seat.
Millions of pounds worth of gadgets are left on public transport so be careful you take all you stuff when you reach your destination!!
Another thing you should have mentioned is dont give your kids expensive gadgets such as iPhones and iPods as they are targeted even more by thieves and are a lot more likely to forget them…I am counting the cost of lending my 13 year old son my ipod which he managed to leave on the bus to school! While kids will always want the most up to date gadget stuff you are not always doing the right thing by purchasing it for them!!!
