If you are traveling somewhere you should always do everything that you can to take care of your valuables while you are out on the road.
For example, a couple of years ago when my wife and I moved we had about an eleven hundred mile drive we had to get through in order to get to our new house.
The issue about that is that while all of our household stuff was in the moving van, all of our really valuable stuff was in the car with us. We were traveling along with someone else so we had two cars including ours in our little caravan.
Whenever we had to stop somewhere like a rest area for example we would always pump gas right next to the other and if we were at a rest area there was never a moment where someone wasn’t sitting and watching both cars.
The reason is that when you think that things are at the most perfect for you to leave things alone for a moment is the perfect time for someone to try and steal from you.
If you are staying at a hotel for example, that key that they give you is somewhat of an illusion of security which is
why whenever I travel for business if there is anything remotely valuable I always double lock it inside a small piece of luggage….so things like what you are about to watch don’t happen to me.

When you go on vacation and shell out the cash for a fancy hotel room you expect top quality service. You expect that room to be your temporary sanctuary, a safe haven in fact.
When you pay a lot of money for quality service at a brand name hotel, like this youtube user did, you expect to get what you pay for.
Well he left his laptop camera on to record his room when he left and he got a lot more than he bargained for.
His laptop captured the room service employee who should have been doing her job. Well she did a lot more than that and it was all caught on camera.
Take a look at the video below.
Well I hate to judge anyone or any of the hotels I stay at because of this one dishonest individual but it goes to show you that you never know what can happen to your belongings in a place that you thought was safe. She took her job for granted and hopefully has been reprimanded for her actions.
