Most of us enjoy traveling, whether it’s
for business or pleasure. But sometimes people
let down their guard when they’re away from
home, and don’t take the safety precautions
they should. Here are a few tips to help make
your next trip a safe one.
Don’t answer the door in a hotel or motel
room without verifying who is there. If the
person claims to be an employee, call the
front desk and ask if someone from their staff
was supposed to come to your room, and for
what purpose.
When returning to your hotel or motel late in
the evening, use the main entrance of the
hotel. Be observant and look around before
walking through parking lots. Park in a
well-lighted spot.
Close the door securely whenever you are in
your room and use all the locking devices
provided.
Don’t needlessly display guest room keys in
public or carelessly leave them on restaurant
tables, at the swimming pool or other places
where they can be easily stolen.
Do not draw attention to yourself by
displaying large amounts of cash or expensive
jewelry.
Don’t invite strangers into your room.
Place all valuables in the hotel or motel’s
safe deposit box.
Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle where
they can be seen.
Check to see that any sliding glass doors or
windows and any connecting room doors are
locked.
If you see any suspicious activity, report it
to the management immediately.
