You Can Get Away with Using the Minimum, but Is It Worth It?
The lock was broken. The bag just would not shut properly anymore. Granted, this fine specimen of a leather bag was 10 years old. But it had done me great service carrying my laptop through numerous travels and countries, and I was having a hard time letting go.
I knew there was little chance of finding a replacement lock after all this time. (I was residing in Australia at the time, but had purchased the bag prior to that while living in Germany.)
