How to keep stroller from theft?

[littlelaura]

I have a wonderful but very expensive double stroller (Baby Jogger City Series with lots of accessories) that I realllly want to utilize at DW during our upcoming trip. But, I'm concerned about keeping it from getting stolen.

We had this happen with a rental stroller that was very obviously marked with our name and had some belongings (not valuable but important to us - photos and ds's character autograph book) at DW during our last visit. I went on a mission and wasted two hours searching for that stroller until I found it (recognized our red bag). I had hoped it was just someone who mistakenly took the wrong stroller, but whoever it was took the time to turn the name card around, and it was parked in a waiting area outside a ride. Also, there were no other double strollers around when ours went missing.

Anyhoodle, now here I am wanting to bring our personal stroller but leery of losing it. I am wishing I'd purchased the bright lavendar instead of more common red!

Any tips on helping to deter someone from taking or mistaking our stroller would be so appreciated!

i hope you took it back!
i was worried about taking our Quinny this yr, so we just bought a cheap stroller for the vacation instead. i would far rather buy a cheap one (which over the course of the vacation is cheaper than renting disneys) and risk that, than to have a really nice one go 'missing'.
i asked a similar question before we went, and i got very mixed replies; some people said that they've never had problems, but i did have several say that they had had strollers taken.
I've seen strollers left unattended with cameras/camcorders hung over the handle or left underneath ("uh?") and people just walk past. Most people are (IMHO) honest, but there are those who will make use of the opportunity to help themselves to a nice stroller, and with Disney being such a big place - you'd be lucky to find it again, let alone prove its yours (unless your name is firmly attactched of course)

I would love to see pics of some of these decorated strollers. Especially, the ones with the laminated names. I am fixing to get busy decorating ours...two of them actually.
