On the 20-th November 2009 some nice people from Al-Fanar Palace Hotel service (Amman, Jordan) took some of my money, that I was keeping in the safe-deposit box (10 % exactly). That money was never returned to me, though the case was investigated by the police. The hotel management tried to persuade us that had never happened before, but the police seemed strangely familiar with this type of crime. Moreover, our guide told us such thefts are commonplace in Jordan. Hotel service workers steal 10% of your money (so that it’s not easy to detect that the money was stolen), usually during your last dinner (or breakfast) before departure. The same thing goes for credit cards. They hack your card and take only 10% from your account – so, when you finally notice your money’s gone, it’s really hard to tell where or when it was stolen. So, here are some tips how to keep your cash safe while you’re staying at a Jordan hotel: 1. Count your money each time you open your safe-deposit box. 2. Don’t trust the management when they say it’s impossible to unlock your safe-box with a key without your secret code-number being wiped. It’s a lie. I’ve done that easily (with the police officers watching). 3. I don’t know about other hotels, but I’m pretty sure that there’re thieves working at Al-Fanar Palace Hotel.
