Why are you traveling with $10k worth of valuables? Did they steal your personal vehicle?

Apple Macbook Pro 15: $4600 (Mine) Apple Macbook Pro 13: $2600 (Wife’s) Ipad Pro: $1000 Versace Glasses: $400 Ray Ban: $300 Airpods: $250 Cash: $1300 Backpack: $150 Apple Fast Charger: $50 Fast Charging Brick: $45

The nice thing out of this incident was that I was able to transfer my Apple Care from my Apple Devices to my new replacement devices.

Camera/video equipment can add up pretty quickly.

Even nicer everyday items can quickly amount to over $500 USD. E.g. shoes (150), 3x wool socks (45), 3x dress shirts (180), jeans (100), sunglasses (150).

Sure, if you've got a huge entourage and this adds up to the order of $10k through simple multiplication of necessary items I can understand.

But if it's just a couple on vacation? Please do not create such incentives for the robbery tourists. Leave the $5k timepiece and bail money at home.
