the hotel safe wouldn't slap it down on

And yet many hotel keys thus care

that, Notwithstanding all of the notices
to the effect that hotels decline to be

people simply will not bother them
selves making their valuab BILE gear up
into packages and depositing the stuff
at the desk.
There's another thing about hotel
keys that ought to be changed. Hotel
guests are inadvertently carrying their
room keys with them all the time and
losing them. The room of the lost key
is, consequently, thenceforward at the
mercy of whoever happens to pick up
the lost key, in case the finder is a
crook
And yet, instead of changing the
locks on the doors the keys of which
are lost, rnost hotels simply provide
the doors with other working keys,
and let it go at that Any time, then,
that the finder of the lost key wants
to loot that room all that he has to
do is to see that the substituted key
Is in the hotels key box and then ride
up to the room and go as far as he
likes with the trunk and bureau valu-
abIes.

HOW HOTELS
ARE ROBBED
Keys Secured at Desk
By Simply Taking
Them.

| A New York hotel sneak recently
yansary had adopted an astonishingly
SIMPLE method. Without employing
any of his usual schemes as finish
| ed and expert hotel sneak, he had
| cleaned up, it was authoritatively
stated after his arrest, something like
$4,000 in the course of few weeks
work. Big winner as It proved, his
scheme was almost childish. 1t was
his plan simply to watch his chance
and steal room key from the hotel
desk when the opportunity offered.
Then he would ride up in the elevator
to the room called for by the key num-
| Der, open the door and geS the goods.
That was all there was to it.
His plan hinged upon and was made
easy by the carelessness with which
hotel keys are handled, particularly by
the men behind hotel desks.
A guest going out will toss his key
upon the hotel desk, and it will lie
willing worker who drifts along, until
the clerk gets ready to place it in the
box where it belongs. Keys are often
suffered thus to remain on the count
err for as long as half an hour or even
more in some hotels where lax methods
prevail. Plenty of hotel clerks never
put the keys away as they come along,
but wait until a heap OF them ac-
cumuIates on the counter before dis
tributing them in the boxes.
i've been wondering for a good
many years why that trick wasn't
worked" said a Washington detective
in commenting upon the New York
hotel sneak's simple little plan. ST
never heard of fellow being caught
at it before, although, now, L haven't
the least doubt that it has often been
worked in cases where the victims and
hotel people imagined that skeleton
keys had been used.
For years past, in prowling around
the big hotels, I've wondered why the
deuce a hotel sneak should go to the
trouble of fixing himself out with
skeleton keys when it is such dead
easy thing to stroll up to almost any
big hotel counter and pick up a key,
or bunch of them for that matter,
and get away with the merchandise in
that simple fashion.
IF you possess the habit of noticing
things, you'll observe that ninety-nine
out of a hundred persons never think
of waiting to see the hotel clerk pick
up the tossed-down key and place it
in the box. They just drop the key
on the desk and hurry away, without
ever rejecting that they're leaving
the key. exposed there for anybody to
pick up that feels like getting into a
room that he isn't occupying.
THE clerks behind the counter are
always doing something or other, and
it Is the usual thing for them to wait
until a bunch of keys are stacked up
on the counter before they sort them
out and put them in the boxes where
they belong. Just you stand near the
desk of any big, lively hotel and see
if the keys thrown on the counter are
not suffered to remain there long
enough to enable any sneak who
zephyrs along to nail just the ones he
wants among them
Now, a man with a package OF
money or jewelry to be deposited in
