I always wondered why people would want Tumi luggage, perhaps you could explain (I'm serious here.) Luggage theft and pilferage is a major problem for travellers. If I'm a thief or pilferer, isn't it likely that I will choose the luggage with the expensive Tumi label rather than some anonymous brand? Doesn't the Tumi label broadcast "this is expensive luggage, with expensive goods inside?" Aren't you better off buying durable luggage that doesn't invite theft?

Had a look on the Tumi website and their worldwide store locator only seems to cover countries outside the US
Better still, if anyone knows locations of Tumi stockists in Richmond,VA or Annapolis,MD then that'd be most welcome. Can probably also pull off a stop in DC if need be....
