My purse went missing Friday night at The Sheraton's Atrio. After some searching, it was discovered lying on a table outside the hallway to the bathrooms. My camera and $100 in cash were taken; my credit card, driver's license and car key were left behind.

I'm sad I lost my camera, but thankful the thief did me a nice thing by leaving all the other stuff in my purse in a place where it could be found. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

What I've learned is this: You can put 5 and a half stars on your hotel, but you can't put 5 and a half stars on your guests. I complained before about drinks being so expensive at The Atrio (this was after I paid $8 for a vodka/tonic), but later I realized that the high prices helped weed out the kids and thugs. I'm thinking The Atrio needs to raise their prices. Until they do, I guess I'm going to have to carry my purse with me AT ALL TIMES.
