Thats just crazy...and if you read down to the end, one of the girls had survived, and is said to have had several hundred dollars taken and personal items. And this was in an upscale hotel!

My personal thing is that whenever I have incalls in a hotel, I leave important stuff outside of the room (not in a safe) or out of sight because you just never know. I tend to get more on guard during incalls simply because they only give out so much info to come to us. So if they want to rob me, there wont be anything to take, and I know what its like to be left high and dry and I'll be damned to have it happen again!

what an ass; this makes craigslist reputation even less. Pour some, for the ones involved...

By the way; although not as relevant...this story completely rebuttles the argument of a thread from last month about 'not trusting black/muslim clients'...

We have to have our guard up for everybody, nobody's an exception. Thats why I was telling y'all....the nerdy mr. nice guy everyone loves to trust can turn out to be the one who's out for someone

I had this same conversation over on Punternet not too long ago. Someone else over there had recommended not seeing minorities (blacks, because of their prediliction to violence, apparently, and asians, because of their penchant for bargaining).
I asked the same lady what she would do if a white gent was either violent towards her or asked for a discount, would she ban the whole race. Unsuprisingly, I'm still waiting for an answer.

The point I tried to make over there is that this job is a dangerous one and that ladies should be on their guard at all times, and not to let that guard down regardless of the race/ethnicity of clients. At the end of the day you're fucking strangers from all backgrounds, backgrounds you know nothing of.

Reading the link, it's the usual story; "that can't be my grandson, he didn't do it". His neighbour, "it couldn't possibly be......"
