Went to the Cafe Biz trade show in Sydney, Australia on the weekend and saw a great new idea to help reduce bag theft and get bags off the ground and off tables. As a female I am sick of having to put my expensive bag on the ground and wrap my leg around the strap so it can't get stolen . You may say I could not take a bag - but yes, I am a woman and we do need life's essentials now and again. That being said there's no reason guys couldn't hang their man bag on it if they're so inclined. Anyways, this gadget is easily screwed under tables by restaurant/cafe owners and they give them cards for the tops of tables so people know it's there. I reckon it's a great idea and wish I'd thought of it - they've got a patent pending so guess I've missed out on that one. If you're interested in these doodads (they're AUS$7.00 each) you can contact them on snipped-for-privacy@bigpond.com They said they can send people info but they are still getting their website up.
The other great idea I saw was The Red Wedge.....a wedge for restaurant /cafe owners to put under the legs of their wobbly tables. It's red and pretty funky...their website is
Check them out - just wanted to share these great ideas with you.
