    Before my family and I moved to another state, my father went and visited the area to check 

on the progress of our new house which was being built. My father was there for a few days and 

was staying at some crappy Motel 6 in a shady area of town. His room was the last room at the 

end of the hallway on the top floor.

In the middle of the night on the last night he was in town he is woken by the phone ringing in 

his room. He groggily answers. It was the front desk and they say something along the lines

"Sorry to wake you, but we've been receiving a couple of reports about rooms being broken into 

and some stuff being stolen. We are calling to make sure you lock your door and are safe."

My father replies that he is fine and hangs up. He decides to go double check that he locked the 

door. As he sits up in bed he notices that the door to his room is ajar. Being spooked, he 

cautiously checks the room and finds that nothing is missing and no one else is in the room.

He creeps to the door and peaks out. Sitting right outside his room on the window sill of the 

hallway window is his shaving kit. Creeped out of his mind, he quickly grabs it and locks the 

door. After he calms down a bit he calls down to the front desk and says

"Hey, you just called me about the break ins around the hotel, and I just want to report that my 

room was broken into when I was sleeping, nothing stolen and I am fine. Figured you would like 

to know" The front desk replies, "You must be mistaken, we never called your room and we 

haven't received any reports of breaks ins"
