Securing Your Luggage on the Road- Use lockable luggage compartments or secure luggage racks to store your belongings.- Avoid overloading your vehicle for better stability and control.- Secure your items using straps or nets to prevent them from shifting during transit.- Keep valuable items out of sight or carry them inside the vehicle for added security.
Securing Two-Wheelers- Lock up your bike with a high-quality U-lock or chain lock, securing it to fixed, immovable objects.- Park your bike in busy, well-lit areas with lots of foot traffic, or near security staff or event personnel.- If possible, remove easily detachable parts like lights or the saddle.- Consider using alarmed locks or additional security devices for added protection.
