What are my rights as a hotel guest: Theft personal property

its interesting that it took you EIGHT HOURS from the time you saw this (judging by the timestamp on your response to dbueler, when my post was already there) for you to come back and make a pop culture reference that i really dont get. you could have used those eight hours to copy and paste the line you accuse me of having said, except that you can not because it does not exist. good job.

and speaking of good jobs, it does pain me to have to say this, but i do owe you a sincere "good job" because i needed other people to point out to me that i am fighting with a troll. the most compelling piece of evidence would be that:

you claim to have gotten robbed in mississippi and then turn around and "oh hey, my husband registered for a las vegas message board EIGHT YEARS AGO, that he made a grand total of ZERO posts on ever, let me get his login and post about it there!!!". not bloodly likely.

so summation = this entire thread is bullshit. i am ashamed that i fell for it. but not as ashamed as you should be for making up lies about housekeepers stealing your stuff.

Are you implying that someone created a user ID and left it dormant with the intention of creating a hoax post 8 years hence?

of course not. im implying that someone created a username that they never used and just now remembered about it and decided to troll with it.

Now jenaphir, why wouldn't one be able to expect a bunch of strangers on a LAS VEGAS message board to be able to assist in getting property back that was stolen in MISSISSIPPI. Las Vegas and Mississippi are exactly the same thing, aren't they? They both have casinos.

Seems like a troll would have at least made it a Vegas hotel.

We will see what developes from the latest posts'., could be interesting.

Jenipher:

People who bully others on the Internet are many times those who have little power in the real world so they use the anonymity of the cyber world too create fantasy fiefdoms. Like honey badgers they put themselves at the head of the food chain picking on others they perceive to be weak to build themselves up. When anyone calls them on their fantasy crumbles and they lash out.

People who have a life are not likely to be studying and making assumptions based upon timestamps.

In the real world people use message boards to share information, meet others with similar interests, etc. etc.
I came to this board hoping for helpful suggestions, PERIOD.

Your comments on this thread are not helpful even in the most rudimentary terms, and have gone from irrelevant, self-indulgent semantic argument to character assassination. Let me tell you something, "LADY" while the jewelry that was stolen from our hotel room is very sentimental it is not nearly as important as our character and our souls. Making false statements in order to try to discredit me is going way over the line and I suggest that you stop NOW.

People who have a life are not likely to be reading these boards.

Jenipher and others,

This is Jason. My wife has been using this thread to try and help me recover items that we lost while on vacation in Tunica. We have been members of LVA for years. We enjoy the newsletter and we use the coupons. We browse the forums from time to time, but don't post. She posted on this site because we are very familiar with LVA and know that people here are usually very nice and in addition, Gold Strike is an MGM property and there are a few of those in Vegas as well. You can call the Tunica county Sheriff's department and ask them if a report was filed one week ago today about a theft in a room at the Gold Strike on Sunday 12th. They will tell you the truth.

I am the one who made the mistake of leaving my jewelry in the room and not in the safe. My wife acknowledged that from the beginning. She was merely coming here to get ideas from people who spend a lot of time in Casino hotels for what our rights are and what we can do despite the fact that I HAD A LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT.

Jenipher, your initial comment was rude. That is why another poster called you out on it immediately. That set the tone for this discussion. I really don't care what you think and I don't care for your opinion on anything. I am just coming here to defend my wife and to let other people who are nicer, know that this event really did happen and my wife cares enough about me to come on here and subject herself to jerk off's like Jenipher in an attempt to get back our possessions.

Some people have had decent suggestions and we appreciate them. I am painfully aware that I should have worn my jewelry or locked it in a safe. I am also aware that the hotels have a policy where by they claim no responsibility if something is stolen from the room. However, when something is stolen from the room, IT IS STILL THEFT! And if the room key access records can give a clue as to where the items went, then we have a chance to find out. That is what the police are doing right now. They didn't tell me I was shit out of luck immediately, they are investigating.

The thread was not a sham. It was a kind gesture by my wife to attempt to make up for a thoughtless mistake that I made and I love her for it. I know I'll probably get a smart ass comment back from Jenipher, but I really would just like to move on from this if possible. Thanks to everyone else on the forums here, especially the ones who have defended my wife all along.

Honey badger don't care

jasonwood and jasonwood's wife:

Unfortunately, the LVA FFA has a long and sordid history of troll activity. Your initial post was unusual and suspicious for many reasons...including posting on jason's old account....so it's kind of human nature to be leery of new posters when we've been burned before.

To start with, jenaphir's initial comments were not rude.

too tiny to hold jewelry? just how big is this jewelry?

Pretty classy response.

Are you also a big fan of kicking someone in the leg right after they broke? Literally pouring a salt in someone's open wound?

Just wondering.
___________________________________________________________

jenaphir's questions actually seem pretty reasonable, don't they? I was thinking the same thing. It's this discostu character that turned the whole conversation around and attacked jenaphir. Ufortunately Mrs. jasonwood piled on...thinking jenaphir was being rude or insultive when she was not. I'm sure discostu thought he was standing up for an innocent victim...but really, what's wrong with asking how big the jewelery was? It's pertinant to the whole discussion.

In any event it's too bad this turned into a brouhaha. There are still a lot of good posters here including jenaphir. It's pretty easy on the Internet to take something wrong and take up sides. jenaphir and mrs.jasonwood just got off on the wrong foot. Let's end it at that....Oh and I hope you find your bracelet and ring.
