Put a shampoo bottle, a bar of soap or a pair of pens with the name of the place in the suitcase, it is part of the daily life of hotel guests when they leave the room. But the list includes much rarer and especially heavy objects. Namely: televisions, pianos, mattresses or even stuffed animals.

The data are part of a survey of 1,157 hoteliers, who have explained what are the items that customers usually take the most. The author of the report is Wellness Heaven , a portal of German origin that functions as a guide to the best luxury hotels and spas in Europe and Asia.

Bathroom items, the most common

The last of his reports reviews the kleptomaniac habits of guests of both four and five star hotels on the two continents on which they work. Among their conclusions they detail the towels and other bath articles such as soaps and shampoo and gel bottles as the most usual objects that disappear in the rooms.

After these utensils, hangers, pens and cutlery arrive as the main objects of desire. Other bathroom fixtures include the shower head, the control of hydromassage controls in a bathtub, a towel rail, a pipe or even a full washbasin , as reported by the head of a hotel in Berlin (note: have given the names of the accommodations when revealing the survey data).

Lobby pianos are also the object of desire.

On the other hand, a worker in an accommodation in Italy assured Wellness Heaven that "once walking through the lobby, he noticed that something was missing and, after checking the security cameras, he noticed that three men had taken a piano ." he never showed up, of course, "he adds. In a British building they discovered, instead, that a guest had taken several plates with room numbers because another guest could not find his own afterwards.

Bank robbery from a sauna

The list of robberies continues with the head of a dissected bear in a hotel in France. The thief was caught in fraganti trying to get him out of the hotel. Finally, his friends bought it from the establishment and gave it to the Lord as a wedding gift, according to Wellness Heaven, who also says that in Finland they took a pinewood bench from a sauna. They did not realize until another client asked at the reception what where to sit.

Some guests rob even the banks of a sauna.

In another sauna, however, the loot was the entire HiFi system. The thieves dismounted it one night while everything slept and put it in the car without anyone noticing. There are more curious cases, such as that of a Maldives resort , where the person responsible for the elaborate floral arrangements had to replace them several times a week because they disappeared. "Maybe because there are a lot of marriage requests here, right?" The employee in the survey replied.

The thefts continue with televisions, hair dryers, dishes, mattresses, pillows, sheets, batteries, television controls ... A paradise for lovers of others.
