Sticky fingers
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The last time you stayed at a hotel, what was the one thing from the room that somehow mysteriously made its way home with you? Was is as innocent as a clotheshanger? The little iron? The plush robe? We’re all friends here, so spill.
I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for those mini mouthwashes and shampoos, but they expect those to be lifted, right?
“Hotel California” by the Gipsy Kings will help you think this one through. Not sure how you say, “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave” in Spanish.

I stayed at a hotel in Chicago where a sign hung by the towels stating they contained electronic fibers. An alarm would sound if they were removed from the building. It was the most ridiculous thing I had even seen. I took the towels and the sign. I am happy to report no alarm and the towels helped clean up a paint spill in the basement!
I once worked with a guy in the military who “Collected” entry way mats from major military HQs. I never knew why, I just guess he did it because he could. For myself, just the expendables, soap, shampoo, etc.
