I checked into a property in Myrtle Beach a couple of years ago that had an electronic safe on a shelf in a closet. The safe appeared to have been attached to the wall at one point but now was just loose. I asked for another room and it was the same there. I ended up hiding some cash that I needed for a golf outing in a Murphy bed for a couple of nights. Have since found a different property to stay at that has more secure safes. I agree that they only serve to keep honest people honest.
