Thief and Money: Enjoy your stay

Enjoy your stay

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff

Today, someone burgled my hotel room. As always, I had locked my passport, extra cash, and other valuables in the closet safe, so I thought the losses would be superficial. What a discovery that the safe hadn't been fastened to the closet shelf, so the thief just picked it up and took it home. FML

Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML

Today, I bought a safe. I put all of my most prized possessions in it, including all of my jewelry, family heirlooms and important papers. Oh, and just before I locked it up, I put the key to the safe in there too. FML

Today, I was showering at my dorm. I had my clothes locked in a locker and my towel and robe hanging outside the stall. Someone took off with my towel and robe, which had my keys. I had to walk down three flights of stairs to get an extra key in nothing but a plastic shower curtain. FML

Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML

Today, I came home to find that my house had been broken into. The items stolen were my PS3, cell phone, laptop, tablets, and for some reason my deodorant and pillowcases as well. FML

What hotel did you stay at so I can avoid staying there.

I never noticed that. Better be more careful next time OP Maybe next time you go to a hotel you can fill the safe up with rocks and bring your valuables with you. You know, just in case :P

I know what burgled implies... But did anyone else pause at the word? I thought of bugle for a second... I guess it's easier than writing "burglarized"

I think that she should have said "thieved" myself.

Burgled is the British way of saying burglarized.

Burgled sounds so much easier. For once the Brits use a word that isn't simplified or shortened by Americans. Woop.

When I travel I usually leave the extra cash I know I won't need for the day at the front desk in their safe. That way every thing that is wrote down and their is proof what is there It sucks that the stupid hotel you were in did not have the in room safe bolted. They are responsible for your loss, but I think you will have trouble proving what was in the safe. Good luck.

i mean, if the burglar is carrying something like a case, wont there be cameras in the hotel that would capture something out of the ordinary.? Hope you get your stuff back OP..

Not to be a ass but if they got away with a safe it makes it your fault for going to such a bad hotel.

You are being an ass. Bad Hotels aren't the only places where you can get burgled. Besides, OP never clarified which hotel he's staying. It could be a Hilton, or a Marriott, or a Motel 6, or some cheap place by his destination. You sound like if you stay in the ritziest of hotels.
