Shove your money and driver's license way to the front of your shoe. No one will ever look there. (smile)

It is funny how we as a society totally have acquiesced to the thieves to the point that everything good becomes intolerable to enjoy. How about we start removing an arm for theft. Today there are no serious repercussions for criminal behavior. Take a few limbs and you will see how quickly no thief wants to chance losing both arms. The law abiding shouldn’t have to constantly worry about the bad guys who just take and give nothing back to our Country.

"Never Lose Your Cash Again with This Clever Lip Balm Container Hack:
Going to the beach and worried about your money being stolen? Here's a simple trick. Take an empty lip balm container and remove the inside part that twists up the balm. Then, roll up your money into a small cylinder shape that fits inside the container, making sure that the money sticks up enough to easily grab it.

Depending on the size of your money and the lip balm container, you might need to fold the money in half before rolling it up. Just remember not to use the lip balm container for its original purpose, as it may have cash residue on it which doesn't protect your lips from the sun!"

I don't have that much money, so instead I hire a street thug to stand by my stuff with his glock partially showing out of his underwear due to having sagging pants.

I never get things stolen and I always have a lot of personal space around my beach blanket. :D

Don’t bring valuables to the beach, but if you have to just make sure that there’s always somebody that’s staying with your valuables

Leaving some air in it after you've closed it up in what helps it to float for a few seconds should you lose track of it.

Here's a couple quick links, but I'm sure that Big Online retailer that rhymes with a river in South America has them also:

Once i put my cell phone inside a plastic pocket which was marketed to protect it from sand & water. It overheated & ruined it.

Bring back the centuries old fashion of the codpiece. But the fanny pack might be better. And both sexes could use the fanny pack without worry of injury to sensitive areas.

There is a tiny beach at Lake Miona Park but it comes with alligators. And it is near a boat ramp.

What happens when you forget where you buried it and is now fully buried due to the wind

I don't go to the beach in a hurricane.
