<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7925835, member: 100459&quot;]Most quality hotels/motels have very sturdy large safes.&nbsp; I liked one hotel that had a room built specifically to hold items for its customers.&nbsp; It&#039;s door to the safe has a key that the manager or person in charge has a key.&nbsp; Inside are Safety Deposit Box-like safes that the manager has a key and the patron is given a key.&nbsp; I use to travel a lot with my job, and at times I had cash and other precious items that had to be secured.&nbsp; I asked if they ever had a loss.&nbsp; They said &quot;Yes, but only one.&nbsp; Then we put in our &quot;safe&quot; about 10 years earlier and have had no losses since.&quot;</p><p>On a family vacation, I usually carried a few hundred dollars in cash. (This was about 35 years ago.)&nbsp; I had 3 $100 bills.&nbsp; When we went to swim, I left the bills hidden (I thought.) in our clothes.&nbsp; When I came back to the room, I checked, and found the bills missing.&nbsp; I reported it to the Manager of the motel and then the police.&nbsp; You wouldn&#039;t believe what the police and the manager did.&nbsp; They had forensics check for fingerprints.&nbsp; It seems that this motel had fingerprints on file for all their employees.&nbsp; The police matched their fingerprints with the ones on file with the motel.&nbsp; It turned out that it was one of the maids.&nbsp; I was surprised at the actions taken by the motel and the police.&nbsp; That was in Charlotte.</p><p>Just be careful carrying valuable things.&nbsp; I have a concealed gun permit and I carry a Glock 9mm.&nbsp; At home I have a Rottweiler, a Pit Bull, and an Australian Shepherd in and out of the house, along with a Wire Terrier and two Cheweenies in the house.</p><p>I live about 20 miles from any city/town, so police/deputies are useless.</p><p>I guess what I am saying, any loss you sustain, is your own fault for not taken steps to secure your home.&nbsp; A friend of mine had a German Shepherd and he thought his dog would protect his home.&nbsp; The only thing stolen was the dog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
