A bad rep?

The following headline is on the BBC web site today, in the 'North' section: Hotel rejects 'theft hotspot' tag

I didn't even need to look to know which particular establishment they were referring to. After all, how many such places can there be?

Crime figures from May 2005 to May 2006 show four out of five room burglaries in Liverpool hotels happened at the Adelphi in Ranelagh Place.

It's a shame, a real shame, but no surprise. We'll be there next Easter, but there's no way we're actually taking a room there - we've too many friends who have been stolen from, there.

(Edit: a single comma added.)

Did you get your friends back after? ;-)

Time to dig up my Eileen Downey Fanclub badge, methinks.

If enough rooms get booked to fill the hotel, next year's EasterCon will feature security at the door, requiring either a valid pre-registration or someone happy to vouch for you. This would, ideally, mean that the only people in the hotel are Con members and hotel staff (and, incidentally, make security's job taht much easier).

That points, with Noel-Edmonds-sized hands, towards an inside job.
If it's still going on, then the hotel management don't care enough to find the person. Fuck 'em.
