They can just open your box and empty you wallet

Hi bro,there is nothing wrong having doubts if it is a 1st time to a new place (and you are asking nicely). Please allow me to have an illustration. Lets say you didnt go to Batam,but to another 3rd world country,3rd world city,you enter any named hotels and they have a safety deposit,do you really think it will be safe enough? Ever wonder how the hotel staffs were able to open your in-room safe deposit box when you happen to lose your password for the safe? Yes,that also means hotel staffs (or someone else) were able to open your in-room safe box when you are not in-room. I dont think the hotel management will dump the safe deposit box away if a guest happens to lose the safe's password tho.
Be a little street-smart during travelling,never put all eggs in one basket and it is a traveler's personal responsibility to keep their valuable safe. My self-created personal safe deposit box for your reference during travel :
i know i may look stupid showing you the pic above (people who saw it before says so),but it is my option,my choice to keep my valuable things safe.There are of course other methods,but i am only showing one of the pic (which was shown before in my previous summaries) to try to bring my message across.
You may wish to read my Batam travelling experience and the other good bros's experience on my signature link.
Hope it helps.

Yes,thats my main worry too,my "personal safe box" cannot fit my laptop in...lol. Thats why i only book girls from reliable joints or massage places and only stayed in rooms where a surveillance camera is pointed directly at my door. Even for hotels with in-room laptop safe,it will be very inconvenient to bring the lappy in and out. I also have the tendency to leave my girl room-alone with one room key (and laptop inside room) while i steps out to enjoy,hehehe....so again, that doubles my risk.
This part,i can only try to minimize the risk by not taking Freelancers (FL) off the streets/disco/pubs/bars and girls from wechat/BBM etc. If i were to take them,i will need to be extra wary,hehehe...
Passport and some cash,i always leave it at the reception. I trust the reception in Formosa Hotel more than my girl/s,hehehe...
