When I stayed at Motel 6 in Atascadero a few weeks ago, I couldn't find my alarm clock when I packed up my stuff on that Sunday. I checked through a couple bags I had and it wasn't in there and now I have come to the conclusion that it was stolen. I thought that I had it on the table there on Saturday morning when I left for the day, but it wasn't there.
TAKE NOTICE. When I was leaving on Saturday morning around 6:00, I closed the door of the motel room. I thought that it would automatically lock, but when I jiggled the handle, it opened up. I opened it and shut it several times. I checked the locking mechanism and things seemed okay. The door would just not lock. I took out the key card and slid into the slot and pulled it out. I closed the door and it was able to lock. Beware people. Anytime you stay in a motel please be sure that your door is locked when you leave the room.
ANOTHER MOTEL 6 STORY. Many years ago when I was staying at another Motel 6, I walked over to a room. I thought it was ours, but was the one next to us. They used keys back then. I took mine out and stuck it inside the keyhole and turned it. THE DOOR OPENED. Wow. Did I have a master key or what? Or did some of the rooms have common locks? There was an Indian couple on the bed. The guy was rubbing the girls stomach and they looked up at me. I looked at them 'whoops, sorry wrong room' and I closed the door and that was that. Oh gosh..... If I could have only gotten there 15 minutes later. Whoa. Maybe I could have come back to check up on them?
SPEAKING OF KEYS....Back in 1995 after I purchased an Aerostar van, I walked over to another van which looked exactly like mine. I stuck the key inside the door and it opened. I was surprised when I realized that it was not mine. I didn't try to start it up though. I just got the hell out of there so nobody would think that I was stealing it and end up getting sent to San Quentin for 25 years.
I mentioned this to a friend at work. He told me that he had a smaller car. I think it was a Toyota. He said that he found the exact same model car in a parking lot and was able to open the door with his key, but I can't recall if he told me if he could start it up. I imagine so.
