How many thefts are actually reported? Raise your hand if you think you lost your wallet or phone. If your wallet is suddenly just—gone!—does your [...]]]></description>

This is an espresso-maker for the coffee-obsessed traveler. To work it, you grab the black &#8220;head&#8221; and pump vigorously. I am not kidding. Of course, first you need a source [...]]]></description>

The fact that the door was propped open, making the alert invisible or unnoticeable (and potentially letting the thieves in) may or may not cancel Hertz&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Like, when you&#8217;re far from home. Last month, Ron and Sharon Dasil were renting a car in Barcelona. Very experienced savvy travelers, they took all the precautions. Sharon sat with their four suitcases [...]]]></description>

This one, in our room at the new Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona, blinked madly whenever we moved. It was a little creepy. I looked around for a hidden video camera. When I asked reception staff, they explained that [...]]]></description>

But there it wasn&#8217;t, high noon and sixty feet from the entrance [...]]]></description>

Shouldn&#8217;t they realize that a slow or stopped-up drain needs fixing before a guest arrives? This was the only flaw in our otherwise excellent Paris hotel. It was fixed [...]]]></description>
