Kim’s cart: 10 genius buys that keep you (and your stuff) safe
I test a lot of gear. Every product here solves a sneaky problem and helps you stay one step ahead of scammers, snoops and opportunists. I’ve done the digging so you don’t have to. Let’s go shopping!
✍️ 1. Pens that stop check washing
Fraudsters love “washing” checks and rewriting new amounts unless you use this pen. Its ink chemically bonds with paper, so the info can’t be scrubbed off. Get Uni-ball 207 Gel Pens ($6.08).
📦 2. Safe mailing, sealed tight
Sending something sensitive? These tough mailers make it obvious if someone tried to tamper with your package. Shop Columbian Security Envelopes ($18.89, 6% off).
🖐️ 3. Skip the shredder
It’s fast, easy and way more fun than shredding. Just roll this over addresses or barcodes to obscure them. See the Identity Theft Protection Stamp Roller ($9.99, 33% off).
📬 4. Your mailbox, upgraded
Curbside mail theft is real. This locking mailbox keeps your deliveries secure, and it’s built like a tank. Buy the Mail Boss 7506 on Amazon ($99.99).
💳 5. Block digital pickpockets
Stylish and secure, this thin wallet stops RFID scanning and looks good doing it. There’s a women’s version, too! Get the RUNBOX RFID Wallet ($21.45, 17% off).
🔌 6. Power without the risk
Charge your phone safely in public places. These little adapters block data transfer. You get just power, no snooping. Grab the JSAUX USB Data Blocker ($12.99, 19% off).
📱 7. Eyes off your screen
Stop nosy strangers from “shoulder surfing,” so only you can see your screen clearly. Buy the UNBREAKcable iPhone Privacy Screen ($21.99, 8% off).
🧻 8. Hide valuables in plain sight
Looks like a regular shaving cream can, but twist the bottom and there’s your hidden compartment. Get the Barbasol Safe Can ($8.06, 10% off).
🚗 9. Protect your car from high-tech theft
These pouches block your key fob’s signal to prevent relay attacks. Toss one in your purse or glove box. Use the other one in your house. Shop the Lanpard Faraday Bag ($7.43, 26% off).
💡 10. Light + camera = security
This brand-new security camera is attached to a lightbulb. Just screw it into any socket. No extra wires or complicated steps. See the Wyze Bulb Camera ($49.98).
Only the best finds protect your identity, money and peace of mind. I couldn’t fit all the clever gear that fights back, so head over to my Amazon page. If you’re traveling, you need the anti-theft cross-body bag. I’ve got more security picks waiting for you there.
