9 10 11 [Next] - With identity fraud getting more popular, I make it a habit to check the credit card receipt left at the table when dining out. If I cannot give it back to the server, I check for the credit card number on the receipt. Many just print the last 4 numbers (preferred). If the whole number is showing, I scratch out everything except the last four. It's already loaded in their POS system, so the restaurant no longer needs it. 24-Dec-2002 Bob McConnell ID1435 - Remember when you are on vacation to continue to think. You may be in a beautiful area, but sometimes people are looking for suckers. Leaving cameras and valuables in plain sight is not a good idea. For example, in Maui people often stop to watch the whales, leaving their cars unlocked while their luggage is in the back seat. While they are looking at the whales, others may be going through the bags. Also, remember to take your keys with you when you lock the car. Many people forget and then end up having to shell out cash to get back into the car. 215 Kaleialoha, A Maui Vacation Rental 18-Dec-2003 215 Kaleialoha, A Maui Vacation Rental ID215 - Do not carry your camera equipment or other valuables around in bags marked with brand names on them. Try to conceal such items in a regular backpack or in other less obvious ways. While driving in large cities always keep your windows up, doors locked, and valuables out of sight. Travel well-lit, busy routes. If you are accosted or followed, drive to a busy place like convenience store or gas station, a police station, or fire hall. Once there, stay in your car and draw attention to yourself by honking your horn. 8-Jun-2001 Mike Fox ID243 - When you are finished with a roll of film, leave it in your hotel safe rather than your camera bag. If your camera is stolen, you still have the film. JTAdventures.com 18-Dec-2003 JTAdventures.com ID273 - When you first go into your hotel room and before you throw down your bags and collapse exausted - take a moment to look back out into the corridor and remember where the fire exit is (in THIS hotel!) It takes only a moment. And - if you're exiting your room during a fire alarm - Remember! take your key with you - you may need to get back in if your exit is blocked by fire. 22-Apr-2001 Andy Willmer ID157 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
