I've been caught

I am on a work trip in a small city in a European country, staying in a hostel where I share a room with other guests. Given this situation, when I went out in the morning, I left my bag of clothes in the care of the front desk. At the bottom of the bag, I had hidden my PeniMaster Pro in a case. The next day, when I picked up my bag, I noticed that my clothes weren’t as neatly packed, and it seemed like someone had rummaged through them. I also noticed that the front desk staff seemed a bit uncomfortable, and one of them kept nervously glancing at my lower body.
It didn’t stop there; some of my roommates also seemed noticeably tense when talking to me, unlike how they spoke to me before. When they thought I was busy with something, they would glance intensely at my genitals, as if they were trying to figure out what I might hold in my pants.

You can imagine the anxiety and embarrassment I’m feeling. I’ve never been good with social interactions, and now it’s even worse being a noticeably tall man. I also can’t leave the hostel since it’s the only one available in the area, and I’ve already paid for a month in advance. What can I do? How do I survive this nightmare?

Also given my situation, I won’t be able to use the extender for a few weeks. I’ve been using it for a month and a half and had gained 0.7 cm, so my NBP was from 13,2 to almost 14 cm, and 17 cm (6.7 inch) Bone pressed. Am I going to lose this progress? When I restart using the extender, will I be able to continue progressing without issues?

PS: I’ve got to admit, I’m a “grower,” so when I’m flaccid, it can look pretty small—especially with overweight. I’m super self-conscious about it because sometimes it hangs okay, but other times it’s barely an inch. I avoid being naked or in just underwear around others, and it’s a big reason I skip the gym. When I’m semi-hard, I feel way more confident and even flirty. My goal is to feel comfortable no matter what, without that negative mantra in my head. Any advice would be great!

I know it’s easy to say but, I wouldn’t let it bother me. It’s not a big deal at all and most likely you will never see these people again.

Do manual stretches in private to keep your gains going.

I understand it may be embarrassing, but I would follow Andy’s advice.

Thieves rummaged in your private posessions. What do you care what they think?

Since they know, strap it on and hang it down your leg under your clothes. What are they going to do, make snide comments behind your back?

If they say anything to your face, you might tell them it’s medical equipment to correct a congenital problem. Which is true. Or tell them to eat shit and die. Whichever seems appropriate at the time.

You might also consider going to old-fashioned hard luggage. The locks on most of them are a joke, but you can add a small hasp and padlock easily enough, and you can buy packs of padlocks that all use the same key. It won’t keep a determined thief out, but it will stop petty pilfering.

Looking around, some soft luggage and backpacks have rings so they can be padlocked shut. Also, there are "backpack suitases", some formed-but-soft nylon, others hard plastic or fiberglass, also lockable.

Hey Twill, you’re probably overthinking everything. Listen to Andy and Andy, what they did was highly improper. Piss on them and continue to do your thing.
