 Luxury Resorts and Hotels, especially of the four and five star category are normally extremely safe; providing you with a safe in the room and at the reception area, security guards hiding around the place, and cameras that can be as much your friend as your enemy . However still things do occasionally disappear, sometimes without the owner ever knowing that they have gone. 

 Here are a few tips to avoid your valued possessions from taking a walk:

If your vacation place has an in room safe use it and keep all your valuables in there.
However, if the safe is electronic, wipe the touch keys down before operating it with a damp cloth, and then dry it before entering your secret code. Try to do this every time you use the safe. 

 After you have keyed in your code and closed the door firmly locked on the safe. Press all the other keys & numbers that do not make up your code, and press them firmly. Doing this may set off a small alarm from the safe but it stops quickly and no one will pay any attention (!!).

The reason to do this is because certain vacation places have caught their own staff placing, a light oil residue or powder on to the touch keys that shows them when using a certain light what numbers were pressed. They were managing to open the safe, and one very clever thief was taking only 1 or 2 US$ from each room. Would you have noticed ? It is not a lot but in a 400 or 500 room hotel the guy was doing quite well for himself.

NEVER  leave valuables in soft material bags with pockets even if they are padlocked like Alcatraz.

This avoids any potential of somebody simply splitting a seam to a pocket with a knife and removing select contents. This can happen to anyone and you won’t even notice, until you go  into the bag and pocket later.

This should also apply to your  luggage sets that you check into the airplane.

NEVER   get drunk and invite a stranger to your room. This seems funny, indeed, but better safe than sorry.

Have a great Holiday!
