Keep doing so when mongering in Wan Chai. A lot of hidden money traps there. The curtain rip-off bars, mercenary wq's from africa, china and elsewhere looking to make ends meet. If they see an opportunity they will take it. I only bring the amount if cash I am willing to spend when going for a night out in wan chai, I do not wear a watch and carry no credit cards. It is easy to get sucked in to the party atmosphere and get hammered and then you will become a walking victim.
A buddy of mine visiting from overseas had his room cleaned out a couple of weeks ago. Picked up a chick from Neptune II and brought back to his hotel. Said she was from Durban, SA(probably Nigeria). He fell asleep after their ml and when he woke up she was gone as well as two macbook air's, iphone 4, cash, ipad 2 and a rolex deep sea sea dweller. He is still wondering how she could get out of the hotel with all his stuff and also why he did not wake up, she bought a small bottle of wine at 7/11 that she shared with him. He fears she might have slipped something into his drink.
Pretty much the perfect crime. His flight was the same day so no time to start pursuing it. Wife at home and does not want any attention.

Glad you got it all sorted, always a worry, but as I am usually using my hotel room, I can safely put all the valuables in the safe. That said never felt like a WG was going to try to rob me.
Just cur ...
