Robber Allegedly Sneaked Into Hotel Suite, Couples Sue

053010hoteledison.jpg Two couples have filed a somewhat belated suit against Hotel Edison for their lax security system which allowed a complete stranger to sneak into their suite in the middle of the night almost three years ago. Raul Montoulieu-Lopez awoke to find the man making off with jewelry, cell phones, clothes and cash, and claims the hotel offered little in terms of condolences or help. They apparently didn't even offer the victims robes, leaving them to talk to the police in their PJs! The four have filed a $10.5 million suit, which claims, "The emotional distress suffered by plaintiffs was severe and of such a nature that no reasonable person could be expected to endure it."

    Not that it really matters, but this sounds like a burglar, not a robber.

    I would like to applaud Jaya Saxena for her use of the word "sneaked". Thank you for not using "snuck". Nice work.
