It’s big enough for keys, phone and money. It has a cable on it to secure it to the umbrella post another chair cooler type thing works great

Doesn't anyone use the old "prison wallet" anymore?

Don’t bring valuables to the beach, lock them in your car and hide the keys in a good place. Enjoy the beach without a friggin phone like the good old days.

That’s an exit, not an entrance! 😀

The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) suggested to beachgoers in a social media post on Saturday to take their valuables into the ocean rather than leave them on the beach.

"For those enjoying the beach, don’t leave valuables unattended on the sand. Instead, use a waterproof bag that you can take into the water with you," the HPD said.
I left Hawaii in 1999 and even back then you knew not to leave anything in your vehicle at the beach. Some would leave their car unlocked so the thieves wouldn't break the window of your car to ransack your vehicle.

I lived in a secure/guard patrolled highrise with cameras. It was so secure that you couldn't enter the building without your keycard that was also needed to use the elevator, even then you could only access your own floor or the parking floor. We parked on the 10th floor that had a totally enclosed fence/gate so no one could walk onto the parking area that was for residents only. My truck was broken into twice in a month. The only thing they stole was a cheap pair of sunglasses. Guess that made them mad, so they broke several windows just for spite the second time.
