Man bag theft on the rise!

[Magnus]

Sadly, I think this was pretty inevitable.

For a theif it makes sense, who here have more than 100 dollars worth of EDC on their EDC bags please raise your hands

[Freudian Frog]

*raises his hand and wonders why he's alone*

I've considered getting one of those slash-proof man-bags too...

Though I think the bag would cost more than what I'd put in it.

[GraysonK]

I really don't know what to say to this one.  Wow!  I never really qualified it by calling the messenger bags I see guys carrying as "man bags" I just called them bags.  Probably SO not the point...but there ya go.

[Blackbeard]

Don't you hate it when strangers touch your man bag?

The average contents listed on that page are a bit different to the contents of mine 

Grooming products FFS 

[Chako]

Yeah...grooming products....what the! 

I don't have a man purse/man bag. I do have briefcases up the wazoo. Those contain mainly work related office supplies however.

At least we aren't talking about fanny packs!

[Freudian Frog]

I'm still planning for a man bag but I usually keep my backpack within arm's reach.

Sometimes even in the library I'll pack my laptop up to go to the restroom...

Just wathc your bag. Or have it be lockable...

[GraysonK]

Well it's not a man bag per se, but whenever I'm out at a restaurant or something, I always put my bag at my feed and put the chair leg through the strap.  If someone tries to grab it on the run they'll be taking me with them.

Smart move  

I've not carried a bag since the boys wore nappies and I don't think any thief would have been too impressed by the contents

[Zack]

Unless you carry a nappie bag like mine.  Mine doesn't have anything too crazy, a LM ST200, FAK, bright flashlight of some sort, and then the baby's things.

Poppycock.  I only have my Crunch, two SAK's, laptop...MP3 player...um...phone...*raises hand*

Point made.

[Magnus]

I never liked the term myself, the only time I actually carry a bag is my laptop satchel for university, and it does annoy me a little when people call it a "man bag" but I guess that is what it is....

having said that, it does have my macbook pro in, so I would guard it with my life

That's kind of my point.  I never really understood why that term was necessary.  i mean, people have become really techno-obsessed in recent years so they carry bags to carry their stuff...notebooks, laptops, netbooks, etc.  I never really understood the term "metro sexual" either. 

[turbov21]

never really understood the term "metro sexual" either. 

I though metro sexual meant someone had a train fetish.

LMAO!!!!

[Styerman]

I guess it had to happen . Some folks have pricey gear in the man bag . I keep mine slung . I have seen lots left unattended when some guy goes to the washroom etc . You figure , Ipods , smart phones , netbooks , digital cameras and so on = pretty lucrative target .

Around here strap cutting is rare , Mr Perp would find himself charged with robbery , and if he notched the owner , possibly wounding or attempted murder .

[Zed]

so probably not a good time to have a new bag on its way then 

[Styerman]

Just be carefull .

Chris

[Zed]

Just be carefull .

LMAO...I read this and got this picture in my head of someone getting caught trying to cut the strap of one of the members here who was carrying some kind of bag and getting faced with something much nastier...kind of like a "That's not a knife...THATS a knife" kind of moment.   LOL! 

[JohnD]

Just be carefull .

Man sometimes they stink so bad, you have to have something to hold them with.

Yeah, getting house trained really changed your life didn't it mate 

I've stuck my finger up so many arses and into worse places in my job that smells rarely bother me anymore.  After the first few infected ulcers you really stop caring about smelling stuff like that.  Almost vomit inducing.

Aren't you brave for saying stuff like that from the other side of the planet
