Least they didn't get past the ignition.

There are a lot of theft around hotels for vehicles. More so around this time of the year and the holidays.
And yes I've worked in hotels over 4 years

I wasn't expecting them to fix it or pursue the culprits in the hotel mini bus. A little deterrent would of been nice. My point was I stayed at a nicer spot. No one at the budget hotel across the street had a problem. For a top end hotel a video camera doesn't seem like a crazy expense.

I went to Virginia Beach a while back, ocean front, the hotels parking was off site a block away. I got a spot that I could see from our floors hallway. Checked on it every morning lol.

Was up for the brothers birthday. Hit the comedy club across the street. Was parked just out front of the hotel. Parked it at about 2:A.M. someone reported it to the desk in the morning.

Someone got into my jeep once while I was in school. They jammed it into 4wd and took my iPod cord and parking pass. I still never ever lock my jeep. But God help the person if I find out who it was
