Kind of a neat bit of info: Keeping your stuff in the hotel safe gives you an added level of insurance, even if it's stolen. Your stuff may be gone, but not all hope is lost. Most hotels must reimburse you for anything stolen from the safe, ruined in the safe, what have you.

one would have to think every room-safe in a hotel or on a ship has a default password.

Yea all may not be lost but what if you have to leave the country the next day. Your passport isn't that easy to replace nor is your grandmothers necklace, etc. Best bet would to be to carry your passport with you I guess & to leave grandma's necklace at home. Sad that we all can't feel as safe & secure as we use to.

That is NOT true, the back of the door, the fine print you sign when you check in and even the safe itself claims that what you are saying is NOT TRUE

Traveling in Hungary I was a bit surprised by the note: Our Hotel takes no responsibility for the content of a Room-Safe, we kindly suggest the use our Safe at the Reception. (where an envelope was signed and left to taken care by the employee)
