I had a digital camera taken from my hotel room also. Its was New Years Eve (years ago) and my boyfriend at the time just bought the camera for me as a Christmas gift. I had it 1 week. We ran things down to our car and came back up when I realized I forgot the camera and had to get my dress from the night before hanging in the closet. The camera was gone and the room was being cleaned. My dress was still there. We went to the front desk and filed a complaint, the hotel manager said he'd look into it, but of course, we never got the camera back!
I don't know why people think they can just come into YOUR home/hotel/car, whatever and just TAKE what is not theirs. Blows my mind.
I had my car broken into, they smashed 2 windows. One was unnecessary and they took a bag out of my car. The only thing the bag had in it, was my artwork, drawings. I was sooooo mad, of course it was never recovered and the kicker... I guess I didn't have 'window' insurance at the time, so someone breaking into my car and taking MY things, cost me almost $1,000. Nice huh??
