Just went to grab some cash from my in room safe and am short $600. Only 1 guest who never left my sight for even a second. Management says since I had a guest, it is my responsibility. Impossible for chica to find hidden key and bbbj me and open safe and pull out half the cash without me seeing her do it. I never left her to hit the bathroom.
It can only be an insider.

So sorry to hear that my friend. Was great to see you for a few minutes last night and HATE this happened. Have known you for a LONG time and know you are careful with things like that not to mention you have more experience in this hobby than almost anyone. Wish I had some sage advice but I'm baffled on this one. :( :( :(

What do you normally do? Lock moolah in your luggage? Just withdraw what you need for the day? Seems like the newbie info mainly pushes people to use the safe so I'm naturally curious if others have a better system.

Luggage locks, and don't carry a lot of dinero at night, you can always hit an atm if you fall short, and try to walk with a buddy, not always possible, but at night important so you can avoid the trannie thieves, etc.

It doesn't matter if its a 2 star or 5 star hotel, hotel room theft can happen.

Scuba, that is bullshit. I know you to be a stand up guy. If that is the managements take on it then I can assure you that I will NEVER stay at the Mona Lisa.

This is indeed a very alarming post. Beside the safe being less then full proof, I travel with a backpack. I can't take everything with me.
what options do we have.
