When people stay at a hotel room, they usually leave their valuables out thinking it’s absolutely harmless and that those who are providing any kind of room service aren’t actually interested in your belongings.
A YouTube user named Vince Stravix has proven everyone wrong by uploading a video that he secretly took at a “brand-name” American hotel, which shows a maid looking through the belongings he left in his room, according to Yahoo News.
Although snooping around the guest’s package, video games, laptop and tablet may not be a part of the service she provides, the unidentified employee takes quite a bit of time looking through his things while fixing up the bed and bathroom from time to time in the nearly four-minute long clip.
The maid reportedly isn’t seen stealing anything and we can’t actually see her typing on the laptop, but the video has still received over 3 million views since it was published several days ago.
Vince Stravix has reportedly refused to name the hotel or reveal the identity of the maid as he doesn’t want to “incite a witch-hunt or a boycott. Employees are never 100% controllable and they never will be because people are not robots.”
Stravix reportedly emphasized that the point of the video was to make “people aware that even in a hotel room someone could rifle through your things without you knowing, so password protect everything you own and keep valuables locked up.”
Although some were shocked by the video, others defended the actions of the hotel employee as well.
‘I had expected to come here and find a thieving asshole ravishing through someones belongings, instead I found a normal housekeeper cleaning under things and doing her job and simply looking at things as she is cleaning,” wrote YouTube user Sulayman Tilaragetachu.
Another social media user HotLikeFire92 commented, “Ok he literally left all his belongings out in the open and recorded her just to see if she would steal something. he’s basically provoking her.”
