Travel tip: If you must keep any money or valuables (such as a camera) in your room, place it in a suitcase that has a lock. Buy alight bicycle lock and take it with you. Then use that to lock your suitcase to a chair or something else sturdy in your room. Between the bike lock and the lock on your suitcase, nobody is going anywhere with your stuff. We do this when Dexter - Horn travels with all our expensive video and camera gear. So far, it's, worked, great, knock on wood.

In your hotel room, keep any valuables (expensive watch, jewelry, camera, etc.) locked in your bag or suitcase (a small padlock will do the trick).
