Reminds me of the uglified camera to deter theft. https://web.archive.org/web/20090521084503/https://blog.jimm...

A very unfashionable diaper bag makes a good case for camera gear.

How would any bag be an obvious diaper bag? A quick image search for diaper bag shows bags that could just as easily hold laptops or cameras. Parents want to look fashionable too.

The ruse would fail instantly you took the camera out of the bag. Or when you have no child, and look like you are wealthy enough to have a camera hobby.

Well, I found one but it brought us full circle. It looks like a grocery bag and says Big Stinky Diaper Bag. https://www.lifesoleil.com/cdn/shop/products/fai1-ecb007-cre...
