Always make sure your suitcase is distinguishable. Consider that you are at a crowded airport or a busy train station and you are asking for directions. For a brief moment you have forgotten your bag and when you look for it it is gone. If your suitcase is well marked with bright luggage straps or tags it is much easier to spot and report. As a matter of fact, your identifiable suitcase is most likely to be bypassed by a thief for another plainer bag. When it comes to baggage claim, let those black generic bags go round and round, you will be able to recognize your suitcase immediately.
