This is a long shot, but I was in a chain hotel in midtown recently and heard someone tampering with the lock, and found the door ajar in the morning. I realize you probably can't name specific hotels, but was one by any chance a chain hotel in midtown around the 11th?
- daeken 14y agoNope, I was in Europe at the time; we did the photoshoot late last month, though I can't recall when.
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoI used to travel fairly extensively for work, on at least 3 separate occasions I had Marriott check me into an already occupied room.
- brown9-2 14y agoYou don't lock the bolt or the chain mechanism when you stay in a hotel room? Or are you saying they bypassed those also?
- Zak 14y agoI think the primary threat in this situation is burglary of an unoccupied hotel room. Security chains are fairly easy to defeat; a bent clothes hanger will do. Deadbolts are probably pretty hard if there's no external key hole. Someone intending harm to the occupants of a hotel room might just break a window.
- superuser2 14y agoNot necessarily. Sometimes the master key card opens the deadbolt as well.
