wtf hotel are you staying at??! :LOL:

Seriously though. I'd take the money and I'd be checked out within 5 minutes.

I wouldn't even check out.

Hotels are all CC guaranteed...they'll check you out at check out in the AM....

I'd just take that money and get the **** out of there.

It's a well known "Inn and suites" type place. The king suites......

Last week I went to a similar(hundred a weeknight) type place......3 of 4 rooms had dirty toilets, beds, mold in the fridges.

Not dives, but based on the last 2 weeks I'd hate to see what a Dive would look like inside.


I'd rather find $10k than a turd.

I definitely checked out, and I left the clerk with some words for the manager that would probably make for a good thread here.

weird man

we have highly trained housekeepers

but

we also have our executive housekeeper who's entire job is to check every ****ing room they clean...as in, they leave all the drawers open, the lights on, the tv on, the bathroom seat up, etc...

if any of that happened in the hotel I work at...?

everyone would be fired

including me

You can wager that I'll be calling the manager and the manager's boss in the morning.

Never seen anything like it in what is supposed to be a decent place.

I forgot about the room I walked into after one of the others sucked and there were whole pecans and jelly on top of the refrigerator....and a skid mark in the shitter.

Lots of people should be fired for sure.

You gotta turn it in. I agree, it is theft. That is someone elses money. They didnt leave a note saying hey this is for you. Ive almost left 6k before somewhere but I sure as hell would have high tailed it back right away. Say, now that I think about it imm missing one hundred $100 bills. I was up north of the river by the air port and I dont know what I did w them

And I agree, you dont wanna be taking money from ppl that have 10k cash just laying around. I have no qualms with ppl doing what they need to do to get money that is rightfully theirs. Do you want that to happen to you? When the bank accidently deposits money into your account do yoy just close your account and hide out? Let me know how that turns out for ya

Walk, don't run.

Leave the room, money intact. Find another place to stay.

And sure as shit don't give an interview with a major media outlet.

The only problem with that is the hotel is not going to refund your money if you decide to find somewhere else to stay. You have to tell them about the money and they might let you move to another room.

Hopefully that article is a sting operation to get somebody to come forward and the names in the article are real.

EDIT

Well not exactly a sting operation but just a way to get the owner of the money to come in.

Gotta be able to sleep at night. Turn the money in.

The difference, as I see it, is Cage went and drank himself to death in Vegas. I can only assume you're going to Thailand so you can go out "death by ladyboy."

I would launder it at the casino.

All the sudden you're a criminal if you have 10K in cash? So all those poker players in Vegas are criminal I suppose. as to the questions. I'd keep the money.
