In Reply to: Room broken into while sleeping posted by Pilateskate on Sunday, 29. September 2013 at 16:28 Bali Time:
and it doesn't get a mention on travel forums. Our friends stayed at a Bali hotel which was broken into in the middle of the night whilst they were sleeping and things were stolen. I was totally spooked by this as we were also booked in the same room a little while later. When we arrived, the hotel hadn't improved the flimsy door locks and so we tied the handles on the double doors together with plastic bags and placed a row of empty Bintang bottles so they'd make a hell of a racket if anyone entered in the night. I mentioned to the staff that I knew about the break-in in the room and all I got was a shrug of the shoulders. The owners of the hotel had done nothing to improve the security of the hotel and you have to wonder how many more times it has happened.
Glad to read your family is ok after your experience.
