One of the victims forgot the door was open when he returned from walking his dog around 11 PM on May 27. When the guests woke up the next morning, the room had been robbed of their wallets, a Mac laptop (s/n C02DG0HRDC79), a Panasonic camera and a man’s Louis Vuitton wedding ring. The ring is white gold, has Louis Vuitton written on it and is worth approximately $2500.00. The wallets were later turned into the RCMP detachment.
