So excited, in fact, that we did a dumb thing. We went out for the night and tucked our iPod away in the front slot of our suitcase, unlocked. Yes, this was stupid. Yes, we should have used the safe. And in fact, we had already locked away our other stuff, but we were running late and fumbling away with keys and codes seemed like too much hassle at the time.

Whoopsie. When we went to retrieve it the next day, it was gone.

First, we tweeted our loss to the hotel's own Twitter feed, asking what to do, and got ignored. So we hit security, who made us fill out a loss report. That report then gets passed on to Risk Management, who will apparently investigate it. We don’t have much hope for that investigation, though, since the nice security person actually told us we should call up ourselves this week to check what was going on.

The moral of the tale? No matter how urgent it is to get to your hypnotist show/pool party/favoured slot machine, here is always time to use your in-room safe. Not least because filing loss reports and police reports (as that’s what our insurance company is demanding) takes a lot more time. Trust us.
