游民一定要露宿街头或栖身收容所?美国街友普赖斯用烂招证明,身无分文同样能入住高档饭店,时间还不是一两天,而是整整两年。
30岁的普赖斯(David Price)过去两年靠着延长住宿,流连佛罗里达州奢华饭店。他住过丽池卡尔顿饭店(Ritz Carlton)、硬石饭店(Hard Rock Hotel)、洛斯波特菲诺湾酒店(Loews Portofino Bay),迪士尼世界(Walt Disney World)饭店也有他的足迹。
奥兰多警方表示,他或许也曾到佛州其他饭店享受,一毛钱也没花。
佛州电视台网站WFTV报导,普赖斯趁房客煺房后潜入饭店房间,然后打电话到柜台延长前一个房客的住房时间,所有的额外花费和费用当然都算在饭店登记的信用卡上。
曾入住奥兰多波特菲诺湾酒店的巴瑞克(Joseph Barak)就为普赖斯背负近9000美元的帐单。这名受害者说:「我不知道他怎么进到我的房间、取得我的信用卡,但他享尽最好的酒、最高档的餐厅和客房服务。」
WFTV报导,普赖斯故技重施入住硬石饭店,但因为上一名房客刚好是旅馆员工,他的伎俩被识破,30日遭警方逮捕。美国广播公司新闻网(ABC News)报导,普赖斯面临窃盗和诈骗旅馆人员的罪名。(译者:中央社张咏晴)
