    WTF are they going to steal? your underwear?

    Anyone stealing luggage won’t give a shit about some POS tumbler lock…

    The risk with your luggage is that its get lost.

      You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.

      The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.

      Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.

      Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.
