I think it was a combination of bad luck, poor judgment, and aggressive photographers. I cannot imagine Dodi's dad personally making these sorts of arrangements.

What they should have done was put it out that they were in a top floor suite, turn on a few lights, have a few people tromp around up there so you could see movement from the windows, whilst they left in the back of a linen van, or some such.

This insistence on the part of celebrities to always travel in fancy vehicles is their undoing. A plumber's truck can come and go, and no one even notices...

Clint Eastwood used to drive around in the shittiest cars I have ever seen (I understand they were mechanically sound, just the bodies looked like hell). I used to live near Carmel, and I would see him in a faded red truck and a crappy station wagon with that fake wood on the sides all the time. No one, save hyper-observant me, gave him a second glance.
