Is it possible not to worry about things?
I'm traveling alone, I'm 22, I want to relax in peace. The plans are to rent a scooter, move south, to wilder beaches. It is possible to stay for a couple of days at one of them. If you rent a scooter for 10 days, where to leave it when you go to sea, where to leave your things? How about stealing on the beach?

With theft no worse than in many other countries, badly lying unattended always has a chance to go to a new owner. This does not mean that they are poking right and left, but this cannot be ruled out and all elementary safety rules must be observed.
As for the southern beaches, it is rather difficult to call them wild. I would say that during the day, from the point of view of vacationers, there are no less of them on the beaches of GOA than in the north. But everything is quieter, more cultured, calmer, but everything is more expensive there, although for me it is insignificant. It's only to the south of GOA to move, then there you can find something sparsely populated.
Any normal (not wild) beach has a parking lot where everyone leaves scooters and cars. There will be no special problems to stop for the night (a full house is unlikely), but as I already wrote, prices will be slightly higher than in the north.

We rented a scooter for 300 rupees for 1 day (150 rubles), for 10 days it cost 2000 or 2500 rupees, I don’t remember exactly (about 1000 rubles). At first they were afraid, but then they left things on the beach, and I hid the camera and phones under my clothes, but still they could steal it if they wanted. They never took anything. In India, free sunbeds are common at cafes if you buy food from them. Prices are the same everywhere. that's why we did it later, in this case, the cafe employee is watching your things.
In general, every day we lost our vigilance more and more, but we never took anything - I don’t know for sure, but I heard that there are very severe punishments in the spirit of cutting off hands. The keys to the scooter were put in shorts and went for a swim. We tried to leave next to the sunbathing Russians to look after.

it is better to take things from the scooter, they can open it. Do not leave anything of value on the moped. The average price is somewhere around 300-350 rupees per day, at the juice center you can find 150.
For beautiful wild deserted beaches, I recommend driving to the North;) To the neighboring state of Maharashtra, to the famous Paradise Beach, and to the lesser known Vingurlo Beach. Completely different nature there.

Nobody will steal the scooter itself, so you definitely can’t be afraid for it. If you suddenly park crookedly and interfere with someone, they can drive you to another place, but no more. It is better not to leave things in the scooter, and hardly anyone will take them on the beach. We left a backpack with keys, money and a phone, covered it with a towel (not so much from thieves as from sand) and went for a swim. And not once, no one encroached on him, although there were plenty of people walking by. It’s just that the more you worry about things and show it to others, the more reason they have to check what you value so much!)

There are very few people on the beaches of the South, and almost all of them are Russian-speaking compatriots. So there is no one to steal)): We left equipment, money in the amount of one day and things are always on sunbeds by the neck. Everything else is in the hotel safe.

I confirm! I’m not lucky at all, they rob me wherever possible, so I hide everything in parts and in different pockets ... Nothing was lost in Goa, despite the fact that I often went to the beaches alone and threw a bag with a passport, a SLR, a phone, money for shore. At first I tracked people, but then I stopped.

For the first time there was an embarrassment: (left near the sunbeds of a beach cafe) with children's slates, stood next to ours, which no one touched, and the little ones liked someone, well, just like in a fairy tale about Masha and the bears. By the way, they were bought in India. True, not quite cheap by Indian standards in the Mysore brand store for 300 rupees. The child was not upset, but was very surprised.
