But apart from these things, some people have brought home some eccentric things from hotels. We scoured Reddit threads and asked a few people about the odd things that they have stolen from hotels. They obliged and their answers were funny. Read on below.

1. “I needed a clock for my bedroom, they had a clock. My bedroom now has a clock.” – Anonymous

2. “The sewing kits. Ah yes, the sewing kits.” – cruate

3. “I regularly used to stay in hotels for 1-2 months while I was working abroad. This one place in Cape Town had amazing ginger biscuits, and my room was a large double, so they left me two packs every day. On the day I left, I literally couldn’t pack all my stuff back into my suitcase as it was so full of these delicious biscuits. Well, them and body lotion.” – EffityJeffity

4. “Shower caps – they’re useful to put over the mixing bowl when making bread.” – danielsamuels

5. “A mosquito repellent – liquid and the machine.” – Manya Ailawadi

6. “Do you know those huge umbrellas by the pool? A guest decided they wanted it on a rainy day. They picked it up out of the stand and walked off with it only to get caught. Ever since umbrellas have been welded into their holders.” – Its5somewhere

7. “One group of drunks took our green traffic cones.” – jwiley84

8. “Batteries from the remote control.” – SNAKETV171

9. “Books and one guest took all our reserve toilet rolls – ten in total!” – nikooo1

12. “I took coffee pods because it looked interesting. I don’t have a coffee machine at home.” – Nivedita Shrivastava

We are still trying to figure out how they ended up using these things.
