Robbery at the new Hotel Monaco
It sounds so exciting, doesn’t it?!
A robbery in a brand new hotel situated in such a high profile area. It’s in the historic Lafayette building at 5th and Chestnut, you know.
Was it a diamond heist? Something historical? Was Nicholas Cage involved?
I’m afraid not.
According to Philly.com’s Dan Gross, a 38-year-old male guest told police that his cellphone and wallet were stolen from his room.
But how did the thieves break in?
The door to the man’s hotel suite did not close properly and while he was waiting for maintenance to come and fix it, someone must have slipped in and stolen his things.
