Hard times are prompting cuts in security at some hotels. In essence, guests must take more responsibility for their own safety by being more vigilant when they arrive and after checking in.
"The current (economic) downturn is associated with significant cuts in security," says Dave Wiggins, a member and former president of the CaliforniaTourism Safety & Security Association. At the same time, he says, hotel employees are working fewer hours and making less money, which "may be pushing some otherwise honest people toward dishonest behaviors."

The fact is nobody knows how much crime is committed in hotels vs. elsewhere. Police don't keep statistics on that. And till hotels do not have a security system gathering data, there will be no future indication in theft trends.
