The Nut Case

Mum’s got herself a brand new suitcase with a combination travel lock. She’s chosen her three-digit code but the only problem is that she’s somehow managed to change the code while the case is open. There’s a switch which you slide to change the combination and she must have knocked one of the dials and the lock at the same time. I managed to reset it the first time it occurred but this time it’s a different dial. Fortunately we had a tiny travel padlock on our person to lock the case, not that it would stop someone if they were desperate. But the new combination still needs to be found and reset. We haven’t been called forward to open the case by the authorities yet; though I suppose there’s nothing to stop a criminal from using either of these methods if they really need to. But on the other hand, a second outside lock is a good way of protecting your case from corrupt transportation staff.
