I have started to watch for this and have in 2 of my last 4 European stays, found a repair person in my room or leaving my room and the tip gone. I have also reported this. What do you do then? Leave another tip because you know the housekeeper didn't get one and then pay twice what you are willing. Or leave nothing more and appear to be a cheapskate?
