I definitely wouldn’t leave them in a hotel room. Hotel rooms are about as safe as leaving it in the hotel lobby. Actually a hotel room is probably less safe because at least hotel lobbies usually have some check in staff keeping an eye out. I’ve had soooo many things stolen from me out of my hotel room. I don’t know why he didn’t have insurance either. My mom recently inherited an expensive ring from my great grandmother who passed away and it was worth less than 1/20th of this collection and she still insured it. But I’m not going to say anything is fishy or that I’m skeptical because I can’t prove the guy isn’t an innocent victim and imagine how awful it would be to not only lose a £500,000 collection but also for no one to believe you. I hope that the police recover his collection or at least part of it. The seller is definitely going to have to work to get rid of it.
