Hotel Guests Leave Behind The Hotel Towels - They Stole The Whole Shower!

STEALING toiletries and even bathrobes from hotels is one thing, but a British couple have taken pilfering to new heights after liking their hotel shower so much they took it home with them.

The unusual theft came after the pair, a man in his 50s and a woman in her 20s, spent the night in a four-poster bed room at the 17th-century Globe Hotel in Topsham, near Exeter, southwest England, its owner said.
After they checked out of the room, staff found the entire shower unit had been taken from the en suite bathroom.

Hotel owner Liz Hodges said the couple - whose identity is unknown as they paid cash - had left her with a bill of around 300 pounds ($723).

While small-scale pilfering was common, "I have never experienced anything on this scale before," Hodges said, explaining that the couple had turned off the water supply before disconnecting the shower.

"I just cannot believe someone would do this," she added.

Devon and Cornwall Police Sergeant Alan Mobbs said the theft was considered unusual, "particularly when you consider the efforts needed to physically take a shower from the wall".

1. can't they toss the t.v. in the pool like the old days ?

maybe just ride a harley in the hall,but no the fuckers steal the shower.Having been to that part of England I think what they stole was the shower head and hardware,in America you would have to take the whole fiberglass wall unit and tub.This is a good challenge,if anyone wants tools and a truck be my quest but you have to film the caper.
