Cut-and-run thieves thrive in crowded tourist areas, cutting through conventional shoulder straps in a split second and racing off with your valuables. Your best line of defense is a daybag or purse specially designed to thwart cut-and-run theft, like the ones on these pages. With braided steel cable in the straps and side panels, slash-proof steel mesh panels and tamper-proof zippers, they're the very best way to protect your belongings as you travel the world.
