Hi, just read a post over on Italy board about someone who had CC stolen, possibly out of a piece of luggage , that was left in hotel room. ( I do find it interesting when posters are not sure where item went missing from, makes me wonder, maybe they LOST it and it wasn't stolen, I know I have left my CC at a restuarant before here, )
I have often read about people saying they "lock things in their suitcases in their hotel rooms" and I just do not see how they think this is safer then using the hotel safe, ( ask at front desk if they have guest safes if there is not one in your room) or, by keeping such an item in your money belt.
A locked suitcase in the room, well, first you have now proclaimed to anyone in room and finds case locked, that there is something valuable in it, and second, many locked cases are easy to pick.
Use the safe, or wear it in moneybelt.
