I Was Pickpocketed in Europe, so I'm Eyeing These 10 Prime Day Anti-theft Deals for My Next Trip—From $10

After getting pickpocketed in Europe a few years ago, I've made it a mission to never travel unprepared again—and to help others avoid the same fate. It's one of those things you never think will happen to you…until it does. Since then, I've learned how smart travel accessories can make a big difference, especially when you're in busy cities, packed train stations, or tourist-heavy spots. In honor of Amazon Prime Day, I've rounded up the best anti-theft device deals worth grabbing while they're still on sale. Whether you're heading abroad this summer or just navigating a busy city day-to-day, these travel-friendly finds—from anti-theft crossbody bags to RFID-blocking passport holders—are designed to keep your belongings safe and your mind at ease. Prices start at just $10, so there's no reason not to stock up. This isn't just any crossbody—it's a stealth security system in disguise. Travelon's best-selling messenger bag features a five-point anti-theft design, including slash-resistant mesh panels, locking zippers, and an RFID-blocking organizer to guard your cards and passport.

Whether it's your checked bag, carry-on, or wallet, Apple AirTags give you instant peace of mind. Just tuck one into your item and track it right from your phone. You can even make it ring if it's nearby. They're travel must-haves for good reason—and right now, you can score a four-pack for $31 off.
