Thing is when you are a front desk clerk you are hit with many odd request that are all liget. At some point this lady should have thought a little straighter but whatever.

We had one hotel have all it's lobby furniture stolen and the desk clerk help carry it out with the guys. The guys told the front desk they were coming to take the furniture because all the new furinture was coming the next day. A big scam that went on for a while in the Boston area was a group of folks posied as AT&T work men and would come in and steal the phone board from the hotel. Those boards are like $50k at the time.

Usually these dirt bags traget the grave yard shift the most because usually no management is on duty and grave yard guys are pretty clueless to what is going on during the day at hotels.

Those thieves can be kinda clever huh? What I've always told employees was "if I didn't tell you it was going to happen, you tell the person to get with me first, I don't care if someone just starts washing the windows outside or says that they're there just to audit something, you contact ME before ANYONE does anything"
