I used to take everything, very time I stayed in a hotel. Tiny soaps, shampoo, shower caps, sewing kits, weird little uht milk and decafe coffee.
Then I landed a job upgrading the IT in the HQ of a big company in central London and ended virtually living in a hotel for about 6 months.
When I finally got home my flat was stuffed full of so much teeny, tiny crap that I hardly had room to move.
What the hell am I going to do with 50 teeny tiny bottles of body lotion?
What the hell even is body lotion and why do I want it?
And tiny shoe shine sponges.... why?!

"I tend to take my own stuff, so should remove theirs as recompense and give it to the homeless etc. It's environmentally unfriendly to have so much packaging for tiny amounts really. "
I like that idea....

I have worked in hotels for years and what gets nicked doesn't surprise me any more!
Holiday Inns in the USA back in the 80's would lose $2.5m worth of towels a year down to pilfering.
A hotel manager friend of mine had to have the shaving mirrors in the bathrooms allen-key bolted to the wall, to stop them being nicked.
People at functions will try to leave with their glasses, cutlery and even the crockery!
In bedrooms, some guests will nick the pillows, even the pot-pourri freshener!
But, best of all, was a hotel where we had peacocks in the grounds, and I caught one guest trying to put one of the birds in his car! He didn't think he was doing anything wrong and even said, "I paid a lot of money for my stay!"
I offered to roll up the lawn for him, give him the gravel driveway, plus the front door! |

I may have taken a few nice glasses from pubs over the years. If there is Molten Brown toiletries in a Hotel bathroom then yes they jump into my suitcase.  |

When I was 18 I threatened to take a dozen plus fire extinguishers from the B&B we were staying in. After management wanted to throw us out...surprisingly it worked and our stay was uninterrupted.
Long story short, I worked in an auction house and they were very popular items  ...as if the 3 of us were ever going to trot out with a dozen of them.
I'm not suggesting anyone hold fire hoses to ransom, just reminded me of my most daring light fingered attempt.

Ha @ a peacock. This is why I won't go to the cat cafe, for fear of half inching a puddy cat.
A football hotel i stayed in had tags and labels on practically every item. So...you use me, pay for me...you wear me, pay for me.  |

When I first moved out from my parents I needed some towels to go in my first house so I stole some from a hotel I used to stay in each week.
I think I've still got them somewhere, they are really nice big fluffy ones. |
