A character steals items from their hotel room that are meant to be left behind for the next guest, such as towels, robes, ash trays and unused toiletries. This is usually played for comedy, showing that the character is petty, rude, cheap or without class. It often results when a character is staying at a much nicer room than they can usually afford. This can be exaggerated by taking larger or more valuable items, such as the TV or furniture. In some cases, the character fills their suitcase with the hotel's items, leaving no room for the belongings they came with. If confronted, expect the character to justify the theft using some sort of Loophole Abuse— for example, stating that there's no signage prohibiting the removal of the items. In Real Life, a lot of these items can't actually be "stolen" because they are meant for the guest to take, like shampoo and bathroom soap. Many locales have laws that require the hotel to throw these out after every guest checks out, so if you don't take them they're just going to wind up in the trash. For the items that you're not supposed to take, most hotels require a credit card be kept on file so the costs will simply be added to your bill after the hotel realizes they're missing. If the work recognizes that hotels now keep a credit card on file, expect part of the story to revolve around them trying to replace the stolen items with a cheap substitute so the hotel won't notice what happened. This can a way to Poke the Poodle. Another form of petty theft is Stealing from the Till. |

Gilmore Girls: Lorelai mentions once they have "Holiday Inn" glasses at home. Michel, an employee at the Independence Inn, spends one episode worrying that a pair of people who had stolen from them a while ago. He insists that Lorelai (the hotel manager) let him check their suitcases. Lorelai and her mother Emily stay at a spa resort for a weekend and Emily keeps gushing about their robes. When they start to realize that they aren't having any fun due to their strained relationship, Lorelai convinces Emily to steal the hotel bathrobes as a "souvenir," insisting that this would be a great bonding exercise and something that Lorelai could never do with Rory, who's far too moral. Emily later tries to sneak it back when Lorelai isn't looking. |

Cheers. Cliff's Girlfriend In Florida turns out to be the hotel he stayed in there, and Cliff took more than just towels. He took the shower curtains, hair dryer, welcome mat, bed sheets, and so on. Needless to say, the hotel was not amused. | |

So they pretend to be caught stuffing hotel supplies into them instead. | |

The Simpsons: In "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", we get this hilarious piece of conversation: In "The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star", Homer is confessing his sins to the priest. One of them is that he stole a TV set from a hotel. Homer is brought to tears when he attends a hotel that trusts him enough to leave the batteries in the remote. In "The Last Temptation of Homer", Homer is sent on a business trip and immediately start running around his suite picking up things to steal. He then overhears Mindy, the new co-worker he's wildly attracted to, doing the exact same thing in the adjoining room. |

Married... with Children: During a trip to Great Britain, Al gets arrested for stealing a towel from his upscale hotel, and is chained up in a dungeon; his gray-bearded fellow inmate is there for stealing an ashtray. In the two-part season two episode where the Bundys go to Dumpwater, Florida, the family runs afoul of an axe murderer. Preparing to pack up their hotel room and flee, Al announces to the family, "Steal everything that's not nailed down!" He even hands Peggy a fork to pack, reasoning, "We can always use a fork!" |

Since Death in the Discworld novels doesn't understand how human things work, the towels in his bathroom are thick, white, and completely solid. His manservant Albert therefore uses one he's acquired with the logo of the Ankh-Morpork Young Men's Reformed Cultists of the Ichor God Bel-Shamaroth Association. | |

There's a Not Always Right story where the guy ''complains'' about the towels he stole to hotel management (by phone, a while after he'd stayed there). Not Always Legal has this story with a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: the thief had paid for her stay by credit card, so the hotel simply charged it for the stolen items. Another one has the guy steal the radio from his room, then phone with a complaint because the preset stations aren't right for his hometown. In this one, the hotel staff see the towels as they're leaving, the customer claims they're from a previous visit (like that makes a difference?) and gets the reply "Oh... well it was very thoughtful of you to come all this way to return them!" |

The Jack Benny Program In one episode, Rochester and a friend are cleaning in Jack's house when the friend asks Rochester what Benny's name was before he changed it. Rochester says he's forgotten. The friend looks down at the towel he's holding and says, "It wasn't Conrad Hilton, was it?" Another episode had Benny bragging about a place he likes to stay called the "Juniper Breeze", even though it sounds like a dive. Eventually it turns out he only stays there because the initials on the towels and bathrobes match his own. |

It happens in Petticoat Junction. And how! Very much one of only two episodes with a supernatural theme, "The Curse of Chester W. Farnsworth" sees the ghost of Chester W. Farnsworth haunt the Shady Rest. Many years before, Chester Farnsworth was a dashing young salesman, and a daring towel thief. Having stolen the towel in his room, Farnsworth left on a dark and stormy night never to be seen alive again. But his spirit has been forced to return the purloined towels before he'll be admitted into heaven. The Shady Rest Hotel is Farnsworth's last stop . . . . | |

It turns out the besotted bellhop has been scamming the hotel computer system to pay for Quinn's luxuries, leading to her exclaiming: | |

An unusual case occurs in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, in which Rarity is attending a fashion competition in Manehattan only to discover a rival has stolen her designs. Needing to make a new set of dresses as quickly as possible, she and her friends raid their hotel room of everything they can find to make them, including curtains, bedsheets, lampshades and even room keys. Curiously, the fact that they effectively stole all of these things is never brought up. | |

Criminal Minds: Referenced in one episode, where the victims are guests unknowingly staying in a voyeuristic serial killer's hotel. The wife tries to move a chair to the table for breakfast, but finds it's bolted to the floor facing the bed. She assumes it's an anti-theft measure and laughs that the hotel thinks they'd really try to steal "this crap." Alluded to in "Nelson's Sparrow," which offhandedly mentions that Gideon was in the habit of putting together bags of hotel soaps, toothpaste, and such and handing them out to homeless people. It's used as a sign that he's recently been traveling, but no one describes his behavior as stealing. |

The Golden Girls In one episode, Sophia does this, stealing towels and initially the Bible, before deciding to put it back. She even tries to take the hotel room's phone, but since it's secured to its table, so it doesn't work. It's some kind of container that looks like a closed clamshell. In another episode, she also starts taking first-aid supplies from a hospital room when they visit Rose there, telling Dorothy: "They expect us to take it; it's like hotel soap!" In another episode, after a health scare from Rose encourages Blanche to become much more devout in her faith, she's speaking with her daughter about it and declares to them that she has obtained Gideon Bibles for everybody. Considering the Gideons are best known for providing the Bibles found in hotel and motel rooms throughout America, and several previous episodes mention the Really Gets Around Blanche frequently taking her dates to motel rooms, it was heavily implied Blanche was stealing the Bibles during her various one-night-stands. |

In Cabin Pressure, Martin and Douglas have been in an expensive hotel for ten minutes when Martin says they aren't staying there after all. Douglas says in that case he's got things to pack. Martin asks how he can have unpacked already, and he clarifies they aren't his things. Martin tells him not to forget the mixed nuts. | |

Burn Notice: Played for laughs when Sam and Michael are staying at a hotel as part of a stakeout and Sam starts storing away some of the soap and other similar toiletries. Sam claims that since the hotel restocks them without charging extra, it's a shame not to take advantage. | |

Friends: Ross always tries to get his money's worth out of hotels by staying in the room to the very last minute before checkout, taking the batteries from the remotes, and taking the Bibles (despite being Jewish). It was a Running Gag for his character. There was an episode where Ross and Chandler were together on a hotel in Vermont and they decided to do this (in this case because the hotel ripped them off by first refusing to refund the reservation Chandler made for him and Monica, then forcing him to pay for their most expensive room when they lost the original reservation). By the time they check out Ross' suitcase is so full of stolen items that it bursts open in the lobby. Rachel has also been shown engaging in this. At one point while the gang are in London she comes running into Ross' room, her arms full of miniature toiletries, and announces there's a housekeeper's cart right outside for them to plunder. |
