Abstract: A bag which has a zipper which is closable over an interior space of the bag using a zipper slider. The zipper slider has a pull and a first locking tab which juts forwardly from one end of the zipper slider and defines therein a first locking slot sized to receive a locking element of a lock. A second locking tab defines a second locking slot with the second locking slot also being shaped to receive the locking element. The first and second locking tabs are configured to be selectively overlapped or aligned so as to register their locking slots, whereby upon passage of the locking element through both locking slots, access to the interior space of the bag is prevented. The locking element can be connected to a cable with a loop to tether the bag to an immovable object.
