Advice please.....

my past trip, half of my luggage was stolen. 
I use Rubbermaid bins with 6 ziplocks on each one. They were cut open on each container......
Soooooo, I'm putting this out there to get suggestions. What do you advise? Anyone have ideas? 
I was thinking to add duct tape to the seal??
I love the protection the bins offer, now I need to consider the security issue.
I am told that if there is anything illegal in your luggage, you are responsible, regardless of how it got there.......
can you say 'YIKES' ?!!
I would appreciate your input, can you help me?

break time in one of my classes this year........

 'Where's Waldo?' 

I think that was tea growing in the background. There are many large fields of tea. However, farm crops remain a problem. When the crops are almost ready, they are stolen. As a result, many farmers have decided not to plant crops......"then they will starve along with us"

Hands are meticulously washed before and after eating. After?? Yes, because we often eat with our fingers. However, after eating my meal with my fingers, it was tactfully suggested that I also wash my face......

That inner sense of triumph in my newly acquired skill dissolved before I even had a minute to savour it......

Then pride further ruined the moment by asking me "so how many people have you just talked to on the way to the back to wash?

Feeling successful remains an unrealized goal......sigh
