As to the OP's question, I don't carry truly valuable stuff when I travel. I might leave my keys and US-only cell phone in the safe, but would leave anything really valuable in the front desk safe.

I would also accertain, in advance, if the place has a front desk safe before booking the hotel if I had a need to secure very valuable items.
Don't be so sure about the "any computer in the world." We tried this on a trip to China -- where the internet is well-censored -- and couldn't get my dad's copy after he dropped his passport in a Beijing taxi. Fortunately, the exceedingly honest cab driver found it and tracked us down at our hotel.
