Thinking in terms of pickpockets, getting robbed or roughed-up in the mens' room, and having chips disappear from your stack while you're looking away or away from the table.

It sounds like the southern-Cal rooms are way more degenerate-central than most rooms I am used to. And I don't how much faith I would have in security and cameras to successfully catch every sneaky pick-pocket or chip-stack stalker.

I've never been to the California rooms. Would such concerns be considered over-the-top ridiculous?

I've been playing at LA area card rooms for a couple of decades and haven't had an problems like these. When I leave the table I always have come back to find my stack in place. No problem in any mens rooms and I have gone in there with rolls and counted it out in the stalls. I almost always valet park but the times I've self parked (including this weekend at the hustler because the lot is so small) I haven't been worried nor have I heard any horror stories from regulars except about the lot at HP.
