re: secruity boxes

I deleted it, as I found your comments too abrupt in critisizing Bulgarian people in general.

Like any country, Bulgaria has it's villans, but generally they are very friendly and trustworthy people. You new posting is OK.

You don't expect to have money stolen by hotel staff do you. I would definitely not accept that in any other country and it has actually never happened.

re: secruity boxes

What a ridiculous statement, I agree with PP. Of course there is the odd incident when something is going to go missing, but i bet it is a lot more common to get your pocket picked walking through the city of London. The people of Bulgaria are some of the most grateful trust worthy people I think I have ever met and to make a generalisation like that based on pure opinion is obscene

re: secruity boxes

Don't you think there is a slight difference between getting pick pocketed and having money stolen out of a hotel safety deposit box. Why make such a ridiculous comparison it is clearly not the same. When in london you know the risks of pick pockets, so your generally careful. Most pick pockets pick on tourists. I am not saying that bulgarian people are more untrustworthy than any other country, but i have seen several people complain about money going missing from safety deposit boxes. ...

This is not a coincidence, it is clearly a problem. As jeremy kyle would say "Some people are weraing rose tinted spectacles" when it comes to there view of bulgaria. Your statement is the ridiculous one comparing 2 completely different types of theft.

re: secruity boxes

i found everyone in Pamporovo to be friendly and trustworthy.
I have heard of no'one having problems with security boxes in Pamporovo.
This is why I am returning this year.

re: secruity boxes

Granted the cases i have seen have been in borovets. With the rila being the culprit on atleast 2 cases. Maybe it is an isolated problem to that hotel.

re: secruity boxes

Admittedly this wasn't a great example but it certainly gets the point across that it is not a common problem and is in fact very rare for any form of theft to occur in Bulgaria
