How to protect your money with Purse dipping bells.

Why we all need purse dipping bells. I lost my purse the other day, at least I hope I lost it. I hate to think that someone stole it from my bag but realistically I guess that is just what happened. It's a horrible feeling to think that someone has targeted you, rummaged around your things and taken your property. It’s a violation. It takes time cancelling your cards and ordering new ones, it costs money, it is a major inconvenience.

For me it was also pretty embarrassing too, as I only realised that my purse was missing at the supermarket checkout when I tried to pay for my weekly shop. I wouldn't wish the feeling of blind panic that came over me as I looked in vain for my money on anyone.

But there is a simple solution, these discrete, attractive gold coloured purse dipping bells are a great little invention. They easily attach to your purse or wallet and ring loudly when they are moved. They are clearly audible even in a crowd and yet make next to no sound when your purse is sitting safely in your bag.

Protect your purse and mobile phone.

When I found out about purse dipping bells I bought a dozen of them from ebay! I’ve used them to protect my own purse and I’ve even attached one to my mobile phone. The rest I gave out to family and friends. My husband was a little concerned at first that putting one on his wallet would make it hard for him to fit it in his pocket but these bells are small enough that it really wasn't a problem for him at all.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that work best and whoever the inventor of these little things is deserves a medal as far as I’m concerned.

Times are tough and money is scarce and I intended to hang on to mine and put a stop to anyone thinking about stealing my purse in the future. So look out pickpockets I'm out to thwart you - with bells on!

Don't forget when out shopping in a crowd to always tuck your purse well down into your handbag. When you do come to pay for something at the till don't don't make it too obvious that you have much cash on you, keep smaller amounts of money in different compartments of your purse or wallet. Don't make things easy for thieves.
