I once stayed at the Value Motel when I was 13 years old with my Father. We stayed one night provided by a voucher from the salvation army. everything's cool.... free lodging, roof over our head for the night.... signs there's some light... NO! Wrong!.. My Dad and I went accross the street to fred myers, came back someone had broken in out motel room. Stole all of our items of value. My Dad's CD's, (they were a big deal at the time) my song walkman under the pillow... yeah they even got that. Not to mention that in the cheaper rooms there they have to offer, you share your bath room with the motel room next door. So the only thing stopping them from you or you from them is a sliding bath room door with a pathetic latch that can be yanked open fairly easily. To make a long story stort. Someone tried to break in that same night we were robbed from the store trip. My Dad and I sat in silence awaiting the perosn to fully open our portion of the door some he could become knocked out instatly by my Father waiting patiently. The sound stopped... the noise and foots step slowing disipated into the darkness of the room and there we were alone and pretrified, of the Value Motel of Vancouver.
