How many people have you seen that own day sporrans and belts..
This sporran has a magnetic catch. Too easy to open for someone behind you, unlike wearing it in front where it has more visibilty.
A nice solution was done on some Nicoll Brothers of Bankfoot models: under the flap was a short piece of leather and a press-stub (PRYM Druckknopf). This holds the sporran mouth closed. Most of the models that had this did not bother with a magnetic catch for the outer flap but I think it could be a nice extra touch to have one.
To be honest, though, I think the danger is less having someone place their fingers in a sporran to remove something than to try to take the sporran. Fishing around in a leather pouch just takes more time and effort than trying to cut the belt and grab the thing at the right moment. The main advantage, I think, of a sporran over a purse is that the bad guys don't have as much training and experience with them and what's in them...
We saw lots of police in Munich downtown. Later in the afternoon there were many peace marches and protesters in the area, but fortunately we were gone by then.
Just there, I guess, for Joe Biden's talk? :-)
