It's like a secured wifi connection that's using the default manufacturer's password: the hotel is supposed to change them so that there is a master password (in case guests lock themselves out of the safe) but this hotel (and likely many others) was just too lazy to change all the master passwords of all the room safes.

Thankfully, if you put things in the safe and they are stolen the likely thief is a staff member with access to your room - kind of narrows down the list of suspects.

Great, now everyone knows.

1,2,3,4,5. That's amazing; I've got the same combination on my luggage!

This is great to know now that the price of gold is more than the price of platinum.

Psh that shit wouldn't fly in America. We're masters of Security! Just look at our borders!

And now, anyone who's watched this video, whoops!
Good to know however.

The point that I was trying to make was that, in a (half-decent) hotel, not just anyone has access to your room. Yes, anyone who has seen this video can try to unlock a hotel safe, but they first have to get into the hotel room. If just anybody can access your hotel room, there is a much bigger problem than an easily opened safe.>> ^00Scud00:

The more people know, the more likely it is to be fixed.

Witness the failure of security through obscurity.

SAFE? More like UNsafe! I KNOW, right?

What does half-decent mean?

I've stayed at 5-star hotels were I've retrieved a new room key without a single bit of identification from an attendant I had never seen before. When I left my girlfriend stranded, it was even easier, god forbid a women would ever commit a crime, they didn't even ask her for the name of the guest staying in the room.

More like unsafe for the weak minded!

When these safes are in my hotels I fill them with bees, and hide my valuables in the toilet tank in a waterproof bag. Then I just listen for buzzing before entering my room again! Simple as that. Valuables safe.

Valuables in the toilet tank doesn't sound very safe you say?

If the valuables are gone, it means a plumber took them, who else opens toilet tanks, I mean seriously. Then I just get my friend Koopa, you might know him as Bowser, anyways, he steals the plumber's wife, and a couple of mushrooms and castles later, I head over to Koopa's house and he's all fucked up.

No worries, I tagged the plumbers' wife with a GPS locator.

Follow that signal, found him! Take down the address and subscribe him to every magazine possible. When the magazines come, you wait till dark and build a magazine staircase to his roof, then fill that fuckers house with koopa troopas through the chimney. Game over plumba theif!

Actually, I have never stayed in a hotel with safes, not that I have anything of value anyhow.
