While I secure the items usually deemed of value, I've had more mundane ones disappear from my room, such as:
- brand new art book stolen from the Holiday Inn Paris-Saint Germain des Prés. Front desk staff feigned ignorance and denied all responsibility/compensation, as usual. Theft for monetary gain; I never return to these properties.
- nifty japanese travel stapler, contact lens case etc., the kind of things one would just assume they lost or forgot at home. Opportunity theft for personal use; I chalk it up to learning, and travel with disposable accessories whenever possible. There is only so much one can do not to affect quality of life however.
