Robbery-Proof Electric Briefcase"> Robbery-Proof Electric Briefcase

This is definitely not for everyone, but with all the lost or stolen luggage this Christmas season (my sister and brother in law are on day 5 with no bags) this little number intrigued me.

The Yantai Qinglu Automatization Co. has developed a briefcase that will emit a piercing alarm if you stray from it while in “secure” mode. If someone has walked off with your case, a remote will activate an electrical shock. Or as they explained: “When you leave the case to settle other business (for instance: registration, shopping and going out), you just set the case in “stealing-proof” function, and bring the remote control with you to settle business. In case the robber or thief touches any place of the case, the case will produce sound alarm and electric shock.”

Of course, I can’t imagine getting this through airport security, and I pity the poor hotel maid who bumps into the case while cleaning your room, but I guess this will appeal to those who carry around a lot of cash or valuables and love to feel like James Bond.
