[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't people sometimes pick up other people's baby monitors? Upthread, someone said hotel security told her people do this all the time. So if you were a monster, maybe you'd get a baby monitor to pick up on little ones left alone in a hotel room?[/quote]

From a purely logistical perspective this is a pretty silly concern. There are 138 rooms in the Yale Club and appear to be at least 5 other hotels in a 3-4 block radius of this hotel. Even if someone did hack the camera, they would have no idea what room. This would be akin to a thief in a parking garage knowing one car in 1000 was unlocked. Except in this case the cars themselves (IE, hotel rooms in fairly upscale hotels) are much harder to break into. Even if a bad actor had a hotel room skeleton key they would have to just randomly start picking rooms to open and are far more likely to accidentally open the door on multiple guests and expose themselves then find these kids. [/quote]

But if they worked in the hotel and had access to enter a room in the hotel, it would be a lot easier. I've worked in the hospitality business for 20 years and would never leave my kids alone in a hotel room. There are so many people who can gain access to your room (and I hate to say this but there are some sketchy people working in hotels, high-end or not). I always use the metal bar lock when I am in my room alone. A baby can't do that.[/quote]

Hey, hey hey! What metal bar lock? I always just lock all locks provided on the door - is there some secret lock I'm not noticing? [/quote]

Not the PP to whom you're responding, but I feel sure that PP is referring to the metal bar you can flip across from the door to the frame. If someone pushes open the door because the locks are unlocked, they can only open it an inch or two before the bar engages. t's not a "lock" per se. It functions much like a chain you'd secure on the inside of an exterior door to your home -- rather than sliding one end of the short chain into a slide bar on the door, you flip a short metal bar across and it's secured usually by a u-shaped loop. Don't know how else to describe it. Very standard on hotel room doors everywhere. You likely have been using it and just thinking of it as another "lock" though technically it isn't a lock. [/quote]
