Harrahs properties (e.g. The Rio) provide "intimacy kits" in the mini-bar. I suppose for some, the cost is worth the convenience.

Residence Inn, Homewood, AL, room 334

After reading this thread I had to check everywhere I could and spotted no porn. I lifted the mattress and found "Robert and Denise" written across the boxsprings. Anyone else find graffiti or "personalization"?

What kind of nasty condition had they been in that you could tell they'd been cleaned?
She wouldn't put them on a separate pillow dirty, would she?

..it was just that dust and cobwebs were stuck to them from being behind the entertainment centre. Boy were they bright and shiny when we returned. Just as a note the last night of our stay we are in one of the ala carte restaurants tucking into the second bottle of wine, when my wife notices 3 or 4 kitchen staff looking around the corner at us. They sort of run back into the kitchen when they see we spot them. The couple sitting with us says one of the staff said "thats the couple" and asked us what they meant. The wife nearly shot wine through her nose laughing so hard when we explained what happened, i guess it made the rounds of the resort. So I told them about FT and that I was gonna report this. So if Theresa and Fernando are reading this ....CHEERS!

Or http://www.fapomatic.com/ which allows "adult" images. Tinypic specifically says no nudity or offensive pics -- this could offend someone.

I would ask with a mod first before putting a picture like that in this forum.

Ok, sorry to burst your bubbles or whatever may be bursting, but BE CAREFUL. I had a client years ago while simply grabbing a headboard to get out of bed, he was stuck by a hidden hypodermic needle. I can see that these porn hiding places may be good places for needles, etc. to hide.

OP
Yes, it's painfully simple. A quick format/delete on a CF erases roughly nothing most of the time. I've never had an issue recovering almost every single photo on a CF card after it's been deleted.

http://www.recovermyfiles.com/index.html has a quick free download that will at a minimum give you a preview of the files. If I dig around there is a fully free software version that I use here and there, can't remember what the name was exactly.

Talking Bingo!

Been on the road for the past 9 months staying at various hotels in DC. Just found this thread today at work, and got a kick out of reading some of the posts. So I go back to my room at the Westin-Embassy Row, and look around in the usual nooks and crannies, and right when I was about to give up, I lift the king-size heavenly bed matress, and there in the middle of it was a "Score" Adult Magazine (May 2005 issue)! Wow, I'm 1 for 1 on the first try! I guess I've been missing out on the fun all this time by not snooping around more in hotel rooms. Well anyways, as its been mentioned here, I signed "FT- pacman777" on the cover of the mag written in pen across a breast, and put it back where I found it. Please post and pm me if you find it! Happy treasure hunting! I'll even give you the room number: 802.
