- kulahan 1y agoReminds me of tips I used to see about how to cover valuable stuff up with one or two "dirty" towels to make criminals skip right past your "carbage".
- sigwinch 1y agoA very unfashionable diaper bag makes a good case for camera gear.
- jerlam 1y agoHow would any bag be an obvious diaper bag? A quick image search for diaper bag shows bags that could just as easily hold laptops or cameras. Parents want to look fashionable too. The ruse would fail instantly you took the camera out of the bag. Or when you have no child, and look like you are wealthy enough to have a camera hobby.
- WarOnPrivacy 1y ago> How would any bag be an obvious diaper bag? Well, I found one but it brought us full circle. It looks like a grocery bag and says Big Stinky Diaper Bag. https://www.lifesoleil.com/cdn/shop/products/fai1-ecb007-cre-1_2000x.jpg https://www.lifesoleil.com/cdn/shop/products/fai1-ecb007-cre...
- sigwinch 1y agoNo, just think about your car in a parking garage. The thief doesn’t want golf clubs or diapers, but messenger bags.

We used to tote around one of these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/388909924480 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/388909924480 Not very fashionable, has wet wipes hanging out the side, the pockets have stitched icons for what they're meant to hold like a soother and diapers, etc. Having a child as a prop would definitely help, but a frazzled look and some wet wipes hanging out the side would probably help it along quite a bit.
- saagarjha 1y agoNow I'm curious what a fashionable diaper bag looks like.
- hamdingers 1y agoA common strategy among bicycle messengers too. A high end bike wrapped in electrical tape with a crap paint job doesn't look to appealing and will be a struggle to sell.
