Its a great read if you have the time! It was thrilling! And a happy ending of course...well, except for the criminal.

Moral to this story is to never leave your belongings out in the open when you are not right next to them.

We were staying at Wilderness Lodge when this happened, but didn't hear anything about it. Looks like we missed all the excitement since we were at Animal Kingdom that day.

Good work using the technology, though.

The funny thing is, everytime we went swimming at that pool, I was constantly keeping an eye on our stuff. Something about the way that pool is set up, seems to make me a bit uneasy when we stay there.

While I'm glad he had such a great outcome, I'll never understand people who go to the pool area anywhere with more than just their room key and a few other essentials (towel, cover-up, spare swim pants for the kiddos, etc.).

I'm always slightly shocked to read the laundry list of things people carry around with them in the parks at all times - much less leave unattended like that.

Yes, I only take my room key too...and I worry about people taking my shoes!

That was my first thought when I was reading the article. I am glad it turned out OK, but it really should never have happened at all.

WOW what an incredible story!

Great that he got his stuff back BUT sad that someone would do that especially at WDW.

I guess I put on my rose colored glasses and think that people wouldn't steal at WDW.
