Have you ever felt that nagging worry when staying in an unfamiliar place, perhaps a hotel or even your own office, wondering if your belongings are truly safe? We've all been there, that unsettling feeling that despite locking up, something might go missing. I certainly experienced that anxiety firsthand when staying at a hotel with a less than stellar reputation for respecting guest property.
