Protect Yourself From Theives During Your Hotel Stay
Author: admin // Category: UncategorizedWhen traveling and staying at a hotel, you need to take a few simple precautions to guard yourself against thieves.
First and foremost is to protect your identity. Keep any papers that have your social security number, date of birth, address or any other identifying information in a lock box or other secure container. Always make sure you can see your credit card being swiped at the front desk. When using hotel Wi-Fi, never log into your bank or any website that contains personal information, and never leave your laptop or PDA in your hotel room in the event of a break in.
Request a room that is at least on the second floor to deter a thief from coming in the window, and also a room that is near the elevator so there is more traffic around your room. If you have valuables, check them into the hotel safe. Always use the auxiliary locks while inside your room, and when venturing out check with the front desk for the safest routes and areas of the city. Leave the “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door and the TV or radio on when you leave your room to give the illusion of the room being occupied.
