Good point.  You've reminded me of a comment I read.   When new camera
enthusiasts joined a photography group, usually one of the first questions
asked is "what do you keep your camera gear in?", and the answer is a
resounding cry of "diaper bags!" - if you leave them in the car it wouldn't
be very tempting.

True.  I did get uncomfortable when strangers would walk up to me and ask
me if I was a harp player, and what did I have in the case/bag wanting to
have a look ... "ummm, no." Funny how I haven't struck that for a couple of
years now.
