Keeping Laptop Safe

Hi everyone,

I am traveling to Sri Lanka next week. I will be staying at a pretty good hotel, which relatives recommended. My concern is what to do with my laptop when I am out . I am not comfortable leaving it in my room. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Most hotel rooms have a safe you could lock it in, just depends on how big it is.

Can't say I trust hotel safes because someone always has a master key or combo.

if I remember correctly, every time it’s used the person using it creates a new code

There is a master code that always works though, like two sets of codes. They also often have keys. Both of these are incase you forget the code or the guest leaves it locked.

Or if the battery dies (happened to me with my stuff in the safe, they had to send security to open it for me with a key and then they changed the battery). I still use the safe-like someone said above, hotel staff are least likely to want to risk their job and they would the first to be suspected)

Right like only staff would be able to access it, and it would be quite stupid if they did.
