How i got into the time share business part 20

At the Vegas airport i hesitate to get into the limo sent for us (see L.A. airport stunt) but its the real deal, belongs to the Vegas club and i glance at the Dr. as he looks away. Hallelujah!! i am informed the Dr. will stay at the resort and i will lodge with others in another hotel. The Japanese
lawyer from corporate in Hawaii will be my roommate. The hotel is 80% brokers and the new exchange company personnel ( I.I.) In the suite i ask the lawyer if he wants to dine and gamble with me, my treat (he was nice to me in Hawaii) he declines and appreciates me not coming back late and or drunk- no problem I'm tired anyway and will be back at 9-10. When i come back he scopes me out and determines he's safe until i ask him for a personal favor-he turns white, his
eyes growing behind his glasses, hes already seen enough of nutcase salesmen. To the point i tell him this town is no good and i want him to help me push the refrigerator against the door, much to his delight he agrees and helps me. But thought it eccentric as i tied thread around the necks
of 4 connecting coke bottles in a semi-circle around the fridge. Its an old trick, so you can sleep well. In the morning we disassemble the door fortress kind of feeling foolish, and when we open the door we discover the hallway full of cops-sheriffs-dicks, etc. Downstairs theres even more!
The place has been robbed! almost every room! 20 or so rooms have been opened while the occupants slept, from what i heard each room was worth a Rolex, $2000 avg. cash, gold jewelry
etc. this was a lot in 79. At the convention we could hardly get started as the topic was no gambling or whatever due to NSF. A few big shots went to the bank and came back and doled out money to be paid back later. None of the victims had their credit cards taken but back then there were no atm's and banks would only give small advances with a huge fee. Most of these
guys made big bucks so it was an inconvenience more than anything. The lawyer is watching
me furtively during the meetings and i guess he believes i masterminded the whole thing, as our room obviously had not been breached. The day you don't wear your seat belt is the day you crash. Folks, its called prevention, you don't get a second chance. The second night they did it again!! Knowing damn well they would recoup and have more money and that's why they left the credit cards. 27 years later I'm talking to a closer and we are reminiscing about the early days and he says- i know who did it! but he didn't say. Tourists and conventions are easy pickings for experienced crews.
