And the moral to this story is . . . . . something about using common sense . . or opportunity doesn't always knock once ... being caught napping . . .

Sure it wasn't his BF?

I wonder if it was the same lady who stole the management key, while cleaning at another Soi Bukaow hotel and raided a couple of safes, including mine. I lost several hundred quid but got most of it back on insurance.

That's for the people who don't know what money looks like.

Well theft is still theft but by leaving his door unlocked AND his safe key lying in full view he was making a bit of a victim of himself. I suppose if it had been a combination lock safe he'd have helpfully written the combo down on a piece of paper.

The speed money leaves my pocket these days maybe i ought to take pics of it just to remind myself i once had it.

Still yes he was stupid for leaving his door unlocked and the safe key on the table but does this justify someone walking in and helping themselves!

She probably explained that she took the money so she could change it to Baht for him seems it's a very good rate for the GBP and USD at the moment (NOT)

44 - the guys had a hard life

But can it be used as evidence?

I can not see the policeman pointing at the money.
