Caution! Don't do what I did

I was doing some sewing in our motel room and I left the electric cord and machine pedal when we checked out. I was not aware that I had left it until 2 wks later. Needless to say, they couldn't find the missing cord. And now my sewing is on hold until I can find a new cord. My machine is a Janome Stylist 509. Don't make the same mistake I did.

One time I left a pair of shoes in a hotel room. I called the hotel and described the shoes and gave them the room# we were in. I pretty much had zero hope of the shoes turning up so you can imagine my surprise when a few days later, the hotel sent the shoes to my home. It's comforting to know that there are honest people and honest companies that do the right thing.

I have left many cords to various items in hotel rooms over the years by relying on other family members to remember to check that everything is packed. I don't allow myself to fret over it. I'll probably lose a few more down the road. Now when I have a cord for anything I try to find a back up on Ebay to have as a spare. I have two cords for all my machines except my Bernina. It never leaves the house.

I am really surprised they don't have it. We have stayed at hotels before and not brought the charger with us. They have had a box of miscellaneous cords at the desk that they let us borrow from.
Hopefully replacement costs won't be too exorbitant. Really sorry this happened to you.
