Protecting valuables in hotel rooms

Idea

Safes in hotel rooms are meant to store the valuables of guests. However, how to protect the valuables if the hotel safe is broken or it is too small for some of the items, such as a laptop?

A suitcase with a (combination) lock can be used as a safe. It can certainly store larger valuables as well. You can also be pretty certain that no one from the hotel personnel knows the sequence to open the lock while the hotel safe is probably accessible by someone from the personnel in case of emergency (lost key or forgotten sequence).

If you decide to use suitcase with a combination lock as a safe and want to be absolutely sure that the sequence remains unknown to anyone else, make sure it is always locked when you leave the room.

Still bad idea.

They will steal your suitcase ;)

Still a good idea ;-)

In theory, this is possible of course. However, not very probable:

  • First, I'd imagine that it is pretty difficult for a personel to carry a suitcase out of the hotel without being noticed.
  • Second, they would have to know what is in the suitcase and be very sure that it is worth the risk to be caught.
