Did you feel like your laptop was safe?

I have a new MacBook Pro that I want to take with me to TJ, but my mom is really worried about it getting stolen at the hotel (I am going alone). I could take my old MacBook, but it weighs twice as much and the Skype on it sucks.

Were any of you worried about your laptops at the hotel or hospital?

    Everything I owned was left unattended in hospital and safe. Same with hotel. Although, I admit I was hoping someone would steal my laptop so I would have an excuse to buy a new one

Nope, never. There's a safe in the room at the Marriott also. I left my iPhones and iPads in the room, no problem. Even at the hospital..

Nope, never.

Same for me.

Same here! We had two phones, a laptop and an iPad. We left them in the hotel room multiple times (not even in the safe) when we went out and in the hospital room during surgery while my husband went to eat. No one bothered anything. I never really even gave it a second thought! Lol I probably should have... At least should have used the safe in the hotel room. I mean, it was there, empty, just waiting to be used!! Lol

But I wouldn't worry about it! :)

There was a safe in my hospital room (and the hotel), but I was in Cancun. We didn't use the hospital safe so much since I was always there, but did use the hotel safe. However, I think it would have been OK not to. We kept a do not disturb sign on our door while in the hotel and no one entered.

I have a new MacBook Pro as well. I wasn't worried at the hospital because I didn't even take it out, I was to tired lol. At the hotel, I just put the do not disturb sign up on the door anytime we left.

I mean, you should still be proactive with your belongings, don't just leave it sitting out in your hospital room or hotel if you aren't there.

Also, if you have Netflix you should check it out in Mexico! Their selections are so much better than ours!

I didn't have any problems either. I did not leave anything sit in the open while we went walking at the hospital and also had things tucked away at the hotel. Just like being in the states, use common sense.
