Better safe than sorry.

I think you're just kidding, right?

So what I got from this so far is you can never be to safe. I am going to make some serious changes at tonites big varsity game I am working. First, I will carry my wallet in my front pocket with a heavy duty chain attached to my belt buckle. Then go with my wad of keys in the other pocket and listen to them click around while I am running up and down the court. I do not trust the place so I am going to throw my bag behind the scorers table. And Finally I am going to call a cab to take me there since my car might get broken into while I am working.

The only change I would make is to make sure the keys are attached to the chain as well. Otherwise, you're catching on! :D

I've never had an issue of things disappearing, and have never worked with anyone that has had that issue. Maybe I've just been lucky. I usually put everything in my suitcase and zip it back up before I go out on the floor, while others leave their clothes laying out on the chair, or hanging in an open locker. I figure it's probably more work to get all the way into my suitcase to look for things.

Last night was different. It was strange putting my keys in my back pocket as I kept hearing them jingling all night running up and down the court. My favorite line was when I was administering a throw in, a fan asked if I had change for a dollar as he was holding out a dollar bill. The good news is my car was not stolen during the game. I tried to get a cab to give me a ride but they would not provide service that far out in the country!
