oralb Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 did he raise with the hotel? since it is a 5 star one, hotel manager tends to be more concern with image. When I Think It, I Do It, I Win It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest another Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 this seems to happen everywhere. (i.e. having things lost even in a locked locker in an exclusive hotel)i myself was surprised when it happened to me in our very own 6 star hotel. when i reported it, the staff was kinda defensive, but when i told him that i am not blaming them, and i just want to report what happen, she then calmed down.now they have safe inside the lockers to keep guest's valuables.

oralb Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 speaking of experience of a 5 star hotel gym, normally all lockers will be locked.so the only ways that the culprit knew his locker is occuipied are either the culprit was in the locker room or he saw the locker list.that would have narrowed down the list When I Think It, I Do It, I Win It!

Cool Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 In the first place, why do you need to bring so many things to go to the gym. Just locked everything in your hotel room safe or in your own luggage bag. Just bring the hotel room key to the gym will do lor. Everything can be paid via your account which will be charged to your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 star hotel will definitely have a safe in the room. Why didn't your friend use it? Dont' tell me he come back only head straight to gym? Or from gym straight check out? He has no one to blame for his stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to take care of your thing when you are oversea..... Those cases must be the job of syndicate who would strike all exclusive places as in those places found more valuable items to steal ..…. Similar case was also happened here about 6 months when the thieves stole from lockers of golfer’s changing rooms in our exclusive golf clubs too :swear: Quote: Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at them. ~ US Professional Golfer Jimmy DemaretQuote: If you watch a game, it's fun.

jazz Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think it is important to take care of personal belongings when overseas.Imagine the hussle especially if passport is missing!Mine got stolen when I was in BKK!As it was a Friday night, I had to wait until Monday to reprot to the Embassy.Then incurred extra charges for hotel stay, as I as supposed to check out on Saturday and fly back.Luckily for me, I was covered by insurance. So not much losses (in terms of $ sense). Actually gain a bit bec my extra 4 days were paid for..... too bad they didn't pay for the extras I had in those 4 days :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think you should also take care of your belongings when in Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think you should also take care of your belongings when in Singapore. Yup i agree that we must look after our belonging all times but the fact is no matter how careful we are, we can avoid sometimes. Is true that every countries do have such cases, just depends how often & how fierce & daring the robbers are. Someone claim that people should not believe too much on local papers reports but i do, cos Singapore still well know as One of the Safe Country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Leave your handphone lying on a hawker center table and you'll discover how safe Singapore really is. That's pure careless... stupidity for inviting crimes..Nothing to do with safety...At least u may still have a small chance of getting it back... I've witnessed it personally. A phone left behind by a friend. Someone called me as I was the last person my friend called. I went to take the phone from the person who "found" the phone lying at the table at the hawker centre.Maybe my friend's phone didn't worth much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Which country doesn't have crime....The local police also have advertised.... "Low Crime Doesn't Mean No Crime".Here we are talking about the GENERAL situation that the crime situation in Singapore is managable. At this rate we are going, some1 else is going post another crime, another 1 post 1 crime...... If this goes on, there will be tons of pages...I posted that my passport was stolen. It was by some motocyclist who grabbed by bag from behind. At the tourist police, the office told me that it was quite common. Then at SIA, when I went to change my flight, the staff told me that her female colleague, who was seated beside her then, was aalso a victim of such a crime.Let's get on with it.
