Remote Control Theft Prevention Tips for Hotel Owners

Loss and theft of items such as slippers, towels, silverware, and electronic devices such as remote controls cause significant monetary losses and quite a bit of frustration for hotel owners each year.

According to the Los Angeles Times, theft from hotels is a common occurrence. Most guests don’t even consider taking things from their rooms to be wrong. A recent survey of hotel guests found that 61 percent of respondents swiped toiletries, 18 percent stole towels, 14 percent took ashtrays, and 2 percent swiped bathmats and bathrobes from their rooms.

Although it seems innocent, hotel thefts cost the industry more than $100 million per year.

While hotel owners may not be able to halt the theft of towels and toiletries, they can stop guests from stealing remote controls to hotel televisions. A simple method of securing hotel remotes is equipping them with security cables. Strong security cables such as the Anderic Universal Remote Security Cable can help hotel owners greatly reduce remote control thefts.

The great thing about universal remotes is that they work with a wide variety of televisions, making them ideal for use in hotels where there’s a need for interchangeability and replacement. The adaptability of Universal remotes also makes them a target for thieves. Security cables make thievery much more difficult.
