After a Vietnamese female MC lost her luggage while taking a train in Italy, singer Doan Truong shared her experience in protecting property on the road.

Measures for administrative security when taking a train

The male singer advised to be vigilant with those who enthusiastically suggest carrying their luggage up and down the train station and stairs. Always place the suitcase in the center of the seat right on your head, wearing a backpack in front of your chest.

All important items such as passports, wallets, and phones must be kept in a chest-view bag, locked, and kept inside the jacket. Vali should only contain clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.

Doan Truong said that he almost lost his suitcase even when he left it on the luggage shelves because he was sleeping on a night trip in Italy, but luckily he brought the suitcase lock chain to the bearings there.

There are 2 solutions: use a suitcase lock chain on the iron bars or choose to buy high-end tickets or business class tickets with spacious space for luggage right next to them.

Doan Truong shared that he always travels by tour because the tour guides and members of the group are always "cautious" about each other when leaving their suitcases in the same place.

Tips to prevent theft, robbery, and picking up bags in crowded places

Doan Truong advised that you should not go to deserted places alone to avoid creating conditions for bad guys to commit robberies and exploitation.

Always stay away from crowds. Avoid contact with strangers when asked for directions, exchanged for change, asked for friends, invited to drink water, invited to buy goods...

Do not let money go to groups of children wandering around, pregnant women or homeless people surrounding you. Tourists should divide their money to spend in many places.

Always lock the international payment function of the visa card, only open when payment is needed. Do not wear too many jewelry, watches, or expensive handbags, showing off your wealth to attract more attention.

How to be cautious when taking the metro and bus

The male singer advised tourists to go in groups and sit or stand opposite each other to watch each other. If standing, you have to put your backpack in the train's car window, and always keep your wallet in the jacket bag. If sitting, you must wear a backpack in front of your chest.

When boarding a ship, you have to go straight inside, choose a position or sit far from the entrance because the thieves are often waiting there, snatching things and quickly escaping when the ship's doors have just closed.

General notes when traveling

The male singer advised to always carry a few photos of passports, visas, citizen identification cards, and prepare photos of cards of different sizes.

send everything via your own email address when your phone is damaged or lost so that it can be printed anywhere you need.

If you buy international travel insurance, contact the insurance company to receive compensation for expenses in some unwanted cases.

Doan Truong said that when traveling to Santorini Island in Greece, he was run over by a backpacking club for a passport and wallet, but luckily other tourists shouted, so the thieves rushed to run away and take him.

Therefore, he often advised people when going out to visit to remember to keep their passports in their rooms, or ask the hotel receptionist to keep them. To go outside, just a photocopy on the phone or a passport photo is enough.

When you need someone to take your photos, you should find groups of guests with your family.

Avoid taking a taxi alone, it is best to call a technology taxi to move instead of public transport and follow large groups.

People should not only pay attention when going out but should also be careful with the furniture stored in the hotel. Doan Truong once rented a 4-star hotel near the center of the capital Roma and lost a laptop in his backpack while visiting.
