The viral video has fans calling the villainous act a stroke of ‘genius’<\/h2>\n

A \u2018genius\u2019 video showing how potential criminals can access your hotel room from the outside has people claiming thieves are getting more \u2018creative\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Experts advise that when you check into a hotel room for the first time,\u00a0you should immediately<\/a>\u00a0examine the soft furnishings for bedbugs and\u00a0flush the toilet<\/a>\u00a0before you use it.<\/p>\n

After making sure your door locks properly and familiarising yourself with an escape route in case of fire, you can finally begin to unpack and enjoy your evening away from home.<\/p>\n

However, you need to remain vigilant for the duration of your stay and definitely keep an eye on belongings that aren\u2019t put in a safe.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it appears that personal items you choose not to put behind a padlock could be at risk, as a\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0user has shown just how easy it is for opportunists and robbers to gain access to your\u00a0hotel room<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, a\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0user – who goes by the moniker \u2018Ryan TricksTV\u2019 – uploaded a three-minute clip to the platform showing how\u00a0thieves<\/a>\u00a0need only utilise a set of magnets, a piece of string and a cable tie to enter your digs.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of\u00a0the clip<\/a>, Ryan showed how a string with a cable tie on the end of it had been shoved under his hotel door and was being manoeuvred to the door handle.<\/p>\n

Eventually, after some attempts, the perpetrator outside the door managed to get the looped cable tie around the handle and was ready to pull the door open before Ryan scared them away.<\/p>\n

After opening the door, a person could be seen streaking away down the corridor and the content creator held up the magnet for the camera.<\/p>\n

He then demonstrated how the villainous \u2018hack\u2019 had taken place, with the magnet moving the cable tie, which had another hidden magnet attached to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what they were doing,\u201d he exclaimed after seeing the secret second magnet. \u201cOh my god!\u201d<\/p>\n

After watching the\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0video – which has racked up 50 million views on the creator\u2019s Facebook page – users have come out in their droves to debate the hotel room\u00a0crime<\/a>\u00a0hack.<\/p>\n

One user of X, formerly known as\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, typed: \u201cShoulda kept quiet and opened the door for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cThe thieves are creative.\u201d<\/p>\n
