My first travel theft: And the winner is….

Posted by Squiffy on July 30th, 2008

Thanks to all those who participated in the travel theft quiz. As you will have seen from our recent post, the answer was that I had my bra and thermal socks stolen from Mdokera’s campsite! Nobody guessed exactly, I think Naomi was closest with ’emergency’ pants, as all my pants were taken too, but I managed to reclaim those. So congratulations, Naomi, the prize is a weekend for two at Mdokera’s campsite plus an M&S voucher so you can replace your undies at the end of the trip :o)

Here were the entries, if you didn’t see them in the comments section:

Andrew Ames:
your emergency supply of kendal Mint Cake and (if you are lucky) The Lonely Planet Guide to Hotels :)

Naomi:
Your eye lash curlers and your emergency pants?
Can I have another go?
Your sandwiches and Dave?
Ok, seriously….
Your camera and your sunglasses?
Hope I win, and the prize had better be nice…
Naomi, aged 29, sticksville

Chloe:
Hmm… My guess would be sunglasses/glasses and mp3 player (which was what was stolen from the head of my sleeping bag whilst I was sleeping in it (well… walkman in those days!) whilst in a train traveling to Mumbai…
Chloe, mid 30s, Cambridge/Bristol

Freya says: wrstfgl, thbbrrrr,
(not sure of the translation as yet… many vowels seem to be absent as yet)
Age <1, Home: attached as close as possible to the person above

Helen:
…. your sunscreen?

Dad B:
1st attempt – your evening dress and stilletos
2nd attempt – lip gloss and nail file
3rd attempt – hair straighteners and styling mousse

martin:
your new wooden giraffe and the old blue wal mart t-shirt (guessing the camera and computer are safe cause there are still blog entries and pictures).

Andrew B:
Betcha I can get it in one.ipod!

My reply ( in case you didn’t see it in the comments section)

– Andy, unfortunately we’re still lugging the LP. And shame, we didn’t think to bring kendal mint cake.

– Naomi, fortunately not the camera, nor the sunglasses, though i came close to losing the latter today, so good guess. Actually your first guess was closest ;0)

– Andrew and Chloe, Ipod seems the obvious answer hey. we’ve met people who’ve had them stolen, but that’s not the answer here!

– H, sunscreen?! That’s a pretty desperate thief (and the locals certainly don’t need it!)

– Dad B, you’ll be pleased to know both attempt 2 items (lip gloss and nail file) are still present!

– Martin, hopefully the new giraffe is on a plane on it’s way to the UK at the moment, and sadly the stinky blue t-shirt is still a feature.

Thanks for playing!
