At 3pm I returned to the locker. When I looked at my bag, I noticed the knot tied to secure it closer was different. Yes ... I know I am a little weird.... But I notice things like this. When I looked inside..... 4 twenty dollar bills were missing and about 60 US dollars of Mexican pesos were missing. The theif was hoping that the guest was not as OCD as I. I am a numbers guy. I always know how many of each bill I have on me while on vacation. When I check the locker, I found it to be broken. It could easily be pushed in and stuff removed. I escalated to the manager... Who was nothing short of useless. He refused to call the police. And said he needed to investigate it and it would take 24 hours. I said.... But this just happened a couple hours ago.... I literally just got here.... One of your current workers took my money just please call the police. He once again refused and said he would talk to me tomorrow after the investigation. What the hell??????? Any suggestions?

I don't think so...as I recall the lockers each have a keyed lock built into them, they give you the key. IMHO if someone got inside and found that the valuables were in a locked bag, they wouldn't pursue it. Many of the past stories, as are the ones in this thread, describe someone taking SOME of the money, but hopefully not enough to notice. I seriously doubt they would destroy a bag etc in order to look inside. I carry a locking bank bag (ordered from Amazon) and lock it inside the room safe for this reason. We've met several people who have had things missing from both the room and from inside the safe.

Are the bank bags you are talking about that a business would use to make a night deposit in a drop box?
