Will be spending 10 days in Kihei in June and am renting a Jeep Wrangler for the 10 days. We will be spending a lot of time exploring the island and beaches while we are there. Since we will have a Jeep with no lockable trunk, what have people done in the past with valuables while on the beach or snorkeling. Obviously we won’t be brining anything other then the necessities, ID, Credit card or cash. Also, what about a camera and stuff like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Storage of valuables with a Jeep Wrangler
Yeah - um - don%26#39;t. - store valuables that is. Although all cars are vulnerable, jeeps are of course, easy prey. We also had a jeep and on a hike left a cooler, our sunglasses, a shirt and our tripod in the car. When we returned everything except the tripod was gone. One pair of sunglasses was even locked in the center console. We were SOOOO lucky we didn%26#39;t have our rental snorkel equipment with us. From then on we took everything everywhere.
Strangly, I always felt safer on the beach. We will leave our stuff in a pile - towels and bookbag. However, we purcahse a dry bag (waterproof bag) to put our camera, keys, wallet, etc. in to take with us in the water snorkeling. Make sure you get a good one though and roll it correctly or it will leak. You may want to test it first.
The moral of the story is - don%26#39;t leave anything in your car you can%26#39;t replace. A cheap styrofone cooler is great because if it%26#39;s stolen, it%26#39;s only $5 to replace.
Don%26#39;t get too paranoid about it, but do be careful.
