Question 2 (15 marks) Scofield decides to book a room for the night in Suredie Hotel. He is told by the manager of the hotel that since he is staying for one night and leaving early the following morning he should pay in advance for the room. Scofield is agreeable to this and pays in advance for the room. Later he is shown to the room which is on the fourth floor. As Scofield is closing the door, he notices a sign on the back of the door which states: "The management will not accept any responsibility for any damage or loss for items stolen from these premises. All Guests are advised to deposit their valuables with the manager of the hotel who will deposit them in the hotel safe until requested by the guest." Scofield is wearing a gold Patek Philippe watch valued at $100,000 and a 2-carat diamond wedding ring. He places both items on the side table next to his bed. As he felt hungry, Scofield decides to go to the hotel coffee lounge for a quick supper. He forgets to put his watch and ring back on and goes out of his room locking the door behind him.
