Staying at a cheap hotel with an LG Plasma screen TV. Accidentally cracked the plasma screen underneath while moving the dresser it was sitting on. No visible damage until you turn the TV on, then theres a spider-web crack on the bottom right and theres lines all over it.

I know if I report it to the hotel, they're going to rail me with fees and the cost of a new TV (more than they pay). If I can, I would rather just repair it myself so no one is the wiser. Otherwise, Johnny B. Goode will just fess up before I leave and let them bend me over, but I would really rather not. Anyone handy with these things? I would upload a picture but I can't figure it out.

Or do the right thing and own up to it. Life's lessons usually are not free, but it might not be that bad. TV's are cheap and id imagine a hotel gets a bulk rate.

Leave a dead hooker in the bathtub.   They won't even notice the TV with all the commotion.

You can pay today or pay later in karma.

Nobody knows which will cost you more.

Are you sure it wasn't like that when you got the room?

If it's cracked and still displaying, I really doubt it's a plasma.

Just go buy a replacement and avoid the fees. You should be on the hook for the tv anyways, so make it only the tv.

Exactly.


But why is nobody asking the real question in the room?

WTF were you moving furniture in a hotel?

Gotta hide the body somewhere.

OP, you broke it, you bought it.

If the hotel guy broke your screen, would you want him to figure out how to fix it from his gun buddies, or should he tell you?
