Anti-theft lockdown carrying bags and carrying straps

A carrying bag comprising:

• a carrying bag body having an interior and an exterior, the carrying bag body comprising:
• a first security panel assembly comprising a plurality of cut-resistant polymer-based fibers, threads or yarns forming a first fabric or mesh;
• and
• a strap channel arranged in an upper or first part of the carrying bag body, the strap channel having at least two spaced-apart reinforced channel openings;
• a water-resistant pocket having a first part coupled within the interior of the carrying bag body and having a second part extending to the exterior of the carrying bag body;
• a fastener coupled to the water-resistant pocket to fasten the water-resistant pocket in a first closed position external to the carrying bag body;
• and
• a carrying strap arranged in the strap channel and extending through the at least two spaced-apart reinforced channel openings, the carrying strap comprising:
• a first wire cable;
• a second wire cable extending substantially parallel to and spaced-apart from the first wire cable;
• a first flexible material and a second flexible material, each of the first and second flexible materials having first and second lateral regions and a central region in between the first and second lateral regions, the second flexible material arranged on or over the central region of the first flexible material, the first lateral region of the first flexible material folded around the first wire cable to enclose the first wire cable and to overlay the first lateral region of the second flexible material, and the second lateral region of the first flexible material folded around the second wire cable to enclose the second wire cable and to overlay the second lateral region of the second flexible material, and each of the first and second flexible materials having spaced-apart first and second apertures, each of the first and second apertures extending through both the first and second flexible materials;
• and
• first and second through-hole reinforcements correspondingly coupled to the first and second apertures and to the first and second flexible materials.

A carrying bag comprising:

• a carrying bag body having an upper rim, an exterior and an interior, the carrying bag body comprising:
• a security panel assembly comprising a plurality of cut-resistant polymer-based fibers, threads or yarns forming a fabric or mesh;
• a strap channel arranged in an upper or first part of the security panel assembly forming the carrying bag body, the strap channel having at least two spaced-apart reinforced channel openings;
• a protected seam arranged on a lower or second part of the carrying bag body, the protected seam having a double-lapped structure, the double-lapped structure comprising a first lapped structure and a second lapped structure, the first lapped structure having a plurality of hidden stitches which do not extend to the exterior of the carrying bag body;
• a water-resistant pocket having a first part coupled within the interior to the protected seam, and the water-resistant pocket having a second part extending past the upper rim to the exterior of the carrying bag body;
• a fastener coupled to the water-resistant pocket to fasten the water-resistant pocket in a closed position external to the carrying bag body;
• and
• a carrying strap arranged in the strap channel and extending through the at least two spaced-apart reinforced channel openings, the carrying strap comprising:
• a first wire cable;
• a second wire cable extending substantially parallel to and spaced-apart from the first wire cable;
• a first flexible material and a second flexible material, each of the first and second flexible materials having first and second lateral regions and a central region in between the first and second lateral regions, the second flexible material arranged on or over the central region of the first flexible material, the first lateral region of the first flexible material folded around the first wire cable to enclose the first wire cable and coupled through a first strap seam to the first lateral region of the second flexible material, and the second lateral region of the first flexible material folded around the second wire cable to enclose the second wire cable and coupled through a second strap seam to the second lateral region of the second flexible material, and each of the first and second flexible materials having spaced-apart first and second apertures, each of the first and second apertures extending through both the first and second flexible materials;
• and
• first and second through-hole reinforcements correspondingly coupled to the first and second apertures and further coupled over the first and second strap seams coupling the first and second flexible materials to the first and second flexible materials.
