Sheraton, Palo Alto: Olympic Swim Team Burglarized

Where: 625 El Camino Real [map], Palo Alto, CA, United States, 94301

"We lost some electronic equipment from our team room," confirmed Tarrah Smith Pollaro, Media Services Coordinator for USA Swimming. "It's not that big of deal. We're not concerned about it."

I'm happy to hear that they aren't mourning any big losses, but what kind of message does that send to criminals? That they can continue stealing from hotels because the guests don't care?
