The scene: a hotel lobby, late morning.
Guests sit with their luggage, waiting for rides. Some are waiting to check in.
A man walks quickly through the lobby. He doesn’t notice when his wallet drops to the floor. A guest sees the wallet fall, runs over to pick it up, and chases after the man to return it.
Nice distraction, isn’t it?
On returning, the guest’s backpack is gone.

How do you know what direction it went off to?
several years ago, I bought a device from The Sharper Image(the company went bankrupt and closed all its retail stores).
It is a two part system. I keep a small 9V battery-size transmitter/alarm in my pocket. The other part is a slightly-larger version, which I keep in my carry-on case. When the two parts are more than 25-feet away, the alarm goes off. Very useful…. sadly, I dont’ know where I can buy another one after TSI went out of business.
Oh that is so cute. Ouch.
