Lesson60 The Dishonest Desk Clerk
About a year ago, I registered at a Detroit hotel. I had just cashed a check. I didn\'t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning the clerk denied any knowledge of my money. I had neither a receipt nor any other proof that I had given the man my money. It was his word against mine. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
