A TikToker has revealed why you should never put your valuables in what should be the most secure place of a hotel room – the safe.
Las Vegas resident Leo Lenier left travelers distressed after unveiling an apparent secret method that can supposedly unlock and reset any coded hotel safe, putting precious items or cash at risk.
“You think that by locking it in the safe and making up your own combination that it’ll be safe,” he says in the viral clip, which has been viewed more than 1.7 million times on TikTok.
He places a hotel iron inside of the digital safe — surrounded by hundred-dollar bills — and closes the door.
“It says it’s closed, it says it’s locked, nobody knows your combination,” he continues, shaking the stiff handle to show it won’t open.
Lenier then shows how anyone could open the safe with ease — if they know how.
“But if anybody comes in and hits the lock button twice — you see the word super?” he says as the word appears on the code screen.
“Now all you have to do is hit “0” six times, and it opens up,” he says as the safe door swings opens.
“That doesn’t seem very safe,” he concludes.
TikTok users were unnerved by the revelation.
“Well then, what is safe when you go on vacation? It’s certainly not safe to have all your money on you at all times,” one user asked.
“I’ve never had anything go missing BUT I’m planning for my next trip to have alternatives,” another said.
“I locked my passport in there and forgot the code, the hotel maintenance guy came & it took him 30 seconds to reset it and open the safe lol,” one person commented.
One user pointed out: “Well they probably need a code to open because I’m sure people forget their codes constantly.”
Others who gave it a try said Lenier’s procedure didn’t work for them.
“I just tried it in my hotel and it doesn’t work, might only be that model,” one person responded.
“This is why never travel with my iron,” another quipped.
In a cheeky follow up video in response to some comments about why he put the iron in the safe in the first video, he repeats the unlocking procedure again — with an egg.
