I've had hotels give me a room key for a room that's already occupied. Now I always put out the DND sign (and deadbolt the door when I'm in). I figure getting a room key to a room with a DND sign makes it less likely someone will go right in.
MY laptop won't fit in the safe, but I can usually lock the cable to the safe somehow.
I like the suggestion to remove batteries and drives and lock them up somewhere else. I'll do that.
