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 arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. 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

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

It's not that hard to break open a hotel/motel safe. One method would be to drop it forcefully on its corner, safes now open. Second method, flat tip screw driver in corner + hammer = safe open.

Keep all your safes away from this guy.

Actually I found out the hard way. I accidentally dropped one. The screwdriver trick I saw on storage wars.

I've worked in many hotels in my lifetime and it's not uncommon for the safe in te toom to be unattached to the wall. However, those things weigh like 500 pounds so I can't imagine how this burglar got away with it. Make sure you notify the staff...I'm sure there are cameras everywhere in the hotel and outside. Maybe they can identify a license plate or something.

You can sue the hotel for that, they're Clearly responsible, you'll get reimbursed and get some money for emotional trauma or however you want to spin it
