A colleague has just asked me about a situation she'd recently  
encountered when staying at a hotel (a member of a large chain).

Her name and credit card details (including the 3-digit number on the  
back) were written down on an index card, and then stored in an  
easily-accessible box on the counter.

The hotel felt there was no problem; her bank felt there was no  
problem... but what does the list think?

And what, if anything could she do about it?
