Couple Steals Electric Fan, Lamps and Kettle From Wales Hotel After Checking-in Empty-Handed

You might have heard about the practice of taking away small bathing items like shampoo sachets from hotels after checking out. The 43-year-old landlady, Natalie Newton recounted how these unidentified guests went to great lengths to strip her hotel in Pembroke Dock, West Wales. Reportedly, they departed with two fluffy white bath towels, a pair of hand towels, an electric fan, two lamps, a kettle, a tea caddy, and even a tower extension block complete with USB ports. This strange behaviour caught Natalie’s attention, as she reflected, “They were super-friendly when they checked in but I thought it was a bit strange because apart from the women’s handbag they had no luggage.” Their room had been reserved through Booking.com, and while their initial card payment was declined, they managed to present a different card upon arrival at 8:45 p.m. the previous Saturday. Newton elaborated, “When we checked on the CCTV we saw they went back out to the car to fetch bags to load up everything from the room.” Natalie expressed her sentiments, “I just feel they are horrible individuals who rip the mickey out of hardworking people like me and my staff.” The robbery meant Natalie couldn’t let out Room 3 at the Dolphin because it was stripped bare and she couldn’t replace the items until Monday morning.
