Quiz: My first travel theft
Posted by Squiffy on July 18th, 2008
I’ve just suffered my first theft since travelling began almost 11 months ago. Let’s have a little fun and see if you can guess what was stolen from my bag — two items in total. Leave a comment with your guess below and, in the tradition of all TV/Radio quizzes, don’t forget to clearly state your name, age and location.
I’ll announce the answers in a week’s time, along with the name of the winner who will be quite famous for a day and can brag to their friends about having their name mentioned live on the Internet.

Your eye lash curlers and your emergency pants?
Can I have another go?
Your sandwiches and Dave?
Ok, seriously….
Your camera and your sunglasses?
Hope I win, and the prize had better be nice…

Hmm… My guess would be sunglasses/glasses and mp3 player (which was what was stolen from the head of my sleeping bag whilst I was sleeping in it (well… walkman in those days!) whilst in a train traveling to Mumbai…

1st attempt – your evening dress and stilletos

3rd attempt – hair straighteners and styling mousse

your new wooden giraffe and the old blue wal mart t-shirt (guessing the camera and computer are safe cause there are still blog entries and pictures).

– Andy, unfortunately we’re still lugging the LP. And shame, we didn’t think to bring kendal mint cake.
– Naomi, fortunately not the camera, nor the sunglasses, though i came close to losing the latter today, so good guess. Actually your first guess was closest ;0)
– Andrew and Chloe, Ipod seems the obvious answer hey. we’ve met people who’ve had them stolen, but that’s not the answer here!
– H, sunscreen?! That’s a pretty desperate thief (and the locals certainly don’t need it!)
– Dad B, you’ll be pleased to know both attempt 2 items (lip gloss and nail file) are still present!
– Martin, hopefully the new giraffe is on a plane on it’s way to the UK at the moment, and sadly the stinky blue t-shirt is still a feature.
All will be revealed soon….
