Traveling to distant places is bound to have some surprises and as this guy's story shows, they can be quite expensive

But after the man left his room for dinner, he returned to find his keycard deactivated and another couple occupying it. Worse yet, his luggage, including valuable belongings, had vanished.This situation mirrors an unsolved case from 2021 and has led to a significant bust involving a suspect, Robert J. Black, who allegedly stole from several rooms in the Paris hotel in June.

Security reports show a spike in such incidents in recent years, and a police investigation found that rooms near elevators and those with double-door entries were targeted, suggesting calculated planning. A “bait room” set up by hotel security led to Black’s arrest after he was seen on camera entering the room and taking cash.
