I was thinking this. A bit of a faff but better to be safe than sorry

Can you fit them under the beds? When we stayed sat CBR, we were unable to put them under the beds.

If going shopping to malls etc, as others say, parking beside the security towers may help.
They were reconisable after there car had been broken into as they were frantic and was asking people for help and what should they do, Me being one of the people they asked and Me being one of the people that assisted them.
I would not of known if they were tourists just by looking at them.

And you can not hide the fact your rental car is in fact a rental car, its simple you do not need to look for maps ect simply look for the bar code in the bottom of the front windscreen.

If they never spoke to me then they would of simply looked like the next person.
An opportunist thief will take advantage of any situation in order to gain money, so are more likely to see something that could be of value before reacting the the impulse to steal.

If they see an easy target they take the opportunity

Just a thought
Could you not buy collapsible luggage cases, I know you may already have cases but if you could it would be a problem solver
