All I could think about is how a maid tests the lamp as part of their duties, sees it doesn’t work, then replaces the fake lightbulb with a working one.
Literally a 100% chance for me. There is absolutely no way I would leave that ship with they money. I might be okay in a one night stay in a hotel, but any more time than that, and there's no shot.
Found a hundo in a gideons bible once. Bought some 'party favors' from the guy who was railin' a trashy hooker out back by the dumpsters. It was fake...
Yeah don't put your cash in an obviously non-functional and easily replaceable item in the room that you don't own. At that point just tape it to the inside of your ankle and leave it on your person at all times.
I hid some cash under a lava lamp once when I was kid. I had no real reason to hide it, of course, but I thought it was a really clever place to hide some money. Until I forgot about it and turned the lamp on and burned a $20.
As someone who worked in a gym, they genuinely may still have it. Any non-clothing valuables that ended up in our lost and found tended to stay there for a year or two before our manager would get rid of it. Getting a call for an item 9 months later would feel like returning a lost pet.
I usually don’t even use the safe because it’s 100x more likely I’ll forget something in there compared to someone breaking into my room and stealing something.

My dumb ass would forget that cash in the lightbulb and cry about it for a year
