I don't know what to say, I have a thing for stationary. That and boxes, I love saving boxes from really expensive purchases. It's hard to come across a quality box nowadays, so whenever I pick up something from Tiffany's, Mont Blanc, Gucci, or whatever, and it comes in a nice box, I save it. I'm kind of crazy like that. Since we already have WWJD (what would Jared do?) is it time for a WWNFD?

If the OP wants to steal stuff that's his choice -- but please don't tell us taking things that are sold without paying for them isn't stealing. (Or that you're doing a favor by displaying towels with a hotel's logo in your home: "Gee, I was going to stay at the Four Seasons but I saw a Hilton towel at tazi's so I've decided to stay there instead.")
SMessier, I think you're missing my point, I'm simply trying to stop the proselytization that's going on here, i.e. "You are a towel thief and a sinner REPENT!" and "If I were a parent of a child asking if he could "borrow" a hotel bathrobe, I would feel terribly terribly ashamed of both him and myself and recognize at once the awful failure I was at parenting." It's terribly rude and hypocritical to chastise the OP for a crime that doubtless has been committed by some of the various people denouncing him in this post.
