- Worried about leaving your suitcase in a hotel room while you’re out
- Returned from sightseeing to find your TSA lock turned red
- Ever suspected housekeeping might have tried to open your luggage?
Thatâs exactly what happened to me.
After returning from a walk around the city, I noticed the TSA indicator on my suitcase belt had turned red.
Thanks to the fact that I had wrapped it with a chain and firmly locked it with a padlock, it couldn’t be opened, but there were obvious traces indicating that someone had attempted to do so.”
This article explains how I secured my belongings using a CAPTAIN STAG bicycle chain and a HIDEO WAKAMATSU TSA lock, based on my real experience.
If you want peace of mind while your hotel room is unattended, this guide is for you.
A small investment in proper gear can bring a huge sense of security.
Bottom line: A chain and TSA lock combo is your best defenseâeven during housekeeping.

In overseas travel, theft doesn’t just happen in tourist spots or on the streetsâit can happen right in your hotel room. Luggage left behind while you’re out is an easy target.

Itâs easy to set up:
- Wrap the suitcase with a chain
- Then pass the chain through the leg of the bed
- Wrap it around the suitcase handle and simply lock it with a padlock

Key tip: keep it discreet. Tuck the chain under bed sheets or behind furniture to avoid drawing attention. I didnât hide the chain connecting my suitcase this time, so I think it was more noticeable

From what I found out, hiding a smart tag (like an AirTag) inside the suitcase would allow me to track its location at all times, making it even more secure.

During international travel, leaving your suitcase in a hotel room while you’re out is the most vulnerable time.
My experience taught me that the risk of tampering is higher than many realize.
In my real case of attempted theft, the CAPTAIN STAG chain and HIDEO WAKAMATSU TSA lock played a critical role.
Thanks to these two items, I suffered no loss.
If you’re heading overseas, always secure your suitcase with both anchoring and locking solutions.
Your peace of mind during travel is something you canâand shouldâprotect yourself.
Have a nice time (^^)/
