Hotel worker busted going through traveller’s luggage
A traveller has shared a hotel story from hell, revealing he secretly filmed a hotel worker going through his possessions after he checked in and unpacked.
The guest captured the footage of a housekeeper appearing to sift through his belongings and look in his safe, after he utilised the hidden webcam on his laptop.
Sharing the video on TikTok, the traveller issued a warning to his followers, with the caption, “Pro travel tip: you can turn your laptop into a security camera.”
The video then shows the housekeeper helping himself to a beverage out of the mini fridge, before starting to rummage through the wardrobe.
“Be careful when you’re travelling. This was the first time I set up a camera and caught this.”
Luckily, the housekeeper didn’t take any belongings from the savvy traveller, although they still reported the incident to hotel management.
They said the hotel “managed the situation professionally”, and the housekeeper was fired “on the spot”.
The guest said when booking the hotel, they noticed a series of reviews mentioning thefts but weren’t able to find any proof, hence they felt the need to set up the camera.
The video has racked up over 170,000 likes, with many people in the comment section saying they rely on similar technology to keep their belongings secure.
One nervous traveller commented, “This is exactly why I barely take anything out of my suitcase, always keep my lock on it and always travel with the keys.”
