Zipper Grippers (prevent bag dipping)

You know the story; you are either travelling on public transport, or in a supermarket with a backpack or bag on your shoulder, you go to pay for something and you find that your wallet is not where it should be?

Low-tech in approach, Zipper Grippers make it harder for the thief to get their thieving fingers inside your bag. Dipping or “pick pocketing” is a crime that happens to people who are in their own world and don’t notice who is standing next to them.
Police in the UK call this perpetrator technique “Dipping” and this type of theft is very common in London on the tube or in crowded places all over Europe, America and the rest of the world, where a few parasitic people use their skill to make a living taking valuables off the rest of us.

Often, it is not the monetary value of items lost from our bags that causes such a negative emotional experience for the victim. A photograph and some personal items in our purse or wallet, expensive or not, have value beyond money, and are not so easily replaced.
We may feel it’s not just our wallet but also our life that has been stolen - and this is not always an over-statement. Identity fraud is so easily achieved with the right cards and any personal information, not just our passports, offer opportunities for thieves to rob us again.

‘Zipper Gripper’s can help secure all your bag zips;
They are decorative but discreet, easy to use, and are ready whenever you need them.
They are low-tech solution to a global problem.
Just slip them onto your backpack/bag zip, and when you want to secure your belongings use the Zipper Gripper clip to slip through the second clip or bag strap, to close your bag securely.
