For example, the anonymity provided by a 24-hour gym could be a good place to put illegal items in a locker, which can then be picked up by someone else.Mike Salt is an independent locksmith and security expert. As he points out, the gym will undoubtedly have security cameras but because of restrictions due to privacy, they will not be at the scene of the crime - a changing room.Another issue is that people in locker rooms are, for the most part, not very vigilant, Mr Smith said.
"As long as someone is not wearing jeans or slacks, chances are people will think they have a right to be there. Most people are strangers you wouldn't recognise, so gym patrons take the default position of assuming everyone around them is there legitimately."A notable feature of the recent spate of victims is that they have had enough money in their accounts for the thief to spend significant amounts.
Of the women featured at the beginning of this article, Alina said: "I suffer from generalised anxiety and insomnia, along with migraines. The way this incident was handled by the police and card companies for investigation has caused me a lot of stress and had a detrimental effect to my mental health."
