I was staying in Cambodia and had some valuables in a safe at a very nice hotel. I came back to find that we were being moved to another hotel (our luggage had already been moved) ostensibly due to an overbooking error. The owner of both hotels got involved in this fray. When I told him I was using the safe in a room now turned over to other guests. He said no problem, and in a few minutes, an assistant came downstairs toting this heavy safe. It was a standard hotel safe and the hotel was well done and met all U.S./European standards. So I guess the message is, that the safe may be difficult to break into, but it's not so difficult to remove and carry out.
