Wow! How in the world would they remove a safe in a high buck, secure hotel?
Glad I kept my high buck coins in my wife's luggage bag in the low buck motel.
Great low buck motel! A few of us from CCF stayed there.

Perhaps it was a portable safe? Or was it the fixed safe in the hotel closet?

They're on a shelf in a cabinet no bigger than a small microwave. We were there.
