Let us play a game: every Tuesday, we scour allover for the strangest looking gadgets, and then you guess wildly what they are. Although this is obviously a lock, the question is what it is designed to protect.

This simple triple digit combination lock is cheap at £5.95. I wonder what it actually secures though, and if it really works. Commonly used for briefcases and luggage, this type of locking mechanism has questionable reliability, but it is not meant to deter serious thieves.

The answer will be revealed tomorrow. Only one guess per person, please. Try not to Google for help.
