Get You Suitcase Locked

Do not assume anything. You must lock your suitcase and have the key with you when you are in a hotel. There is this slim chance that your suitcase may be stolen but it can happen in extreme cases. If you are using a key, the lock may be destroyed with a lock cutters which is why using the numbers can be easier for you to handle.

* Safe is not Safe*

No matter what they put for you in your room, call it manual or digital, it is not all that safe for you. You should not leave your property totally under the care of the accommodation staff. You should never use a lock or safe that is controlled by the hotel for your valuables because it is not totally safe as someone must have made copies of it.

* ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign Can Do*

There are many ways to do this. Firstly, you can put the ‘Do not Disturb’ sign on your door if it is available or you can allow your television to be on during the day to give people the notion that you are probably inside the room even though you are not around.

Locate Hidden Spots

You should find places where you can hide some valuables especially money. Under the carpets, between double drapes and even some extreme places like the ventilator grates can be a perfect place for you. Make it discreet so that no one would be able to find where you got them hidden.

Rearrange Your Room

When you arrange your room according to your specification, it may be difficult to miss things that are must have been tampered. This is one of the ways that you can safeguard the things that you must have brought to your room.
