Apparently British poultry farms don't use the same hormones as their US counterparts. :D

You sure you only took a nap? :D

Hey, I am not the one with virgin in my username. ;) ;)

At the Emerald City Wyndham in San Diego last April, we found bra, panties, t-shirts, wallet, and purse in a dresser drawer. We called security and gave it all to them - we didn't touch a thing.

Anybody find this guy's shirt?

I had the fear of being the only one who deliberately leaves things. :D

I tend to pack heavy, but on vacation it is carry on only, as in "I have no checked bags, am in no hurry, you're overbooked?, sure, I'll go wait in the CRC for six hours for a bump up to FC to AMS".

Some advocate packing light, and buy what you need on your trip, but some things cost too much to buy overseas. Going on holiday I carry a huge cotton beach towel and flip flops, but they take up a lot of room in a carry on. To make room for souvenirs, I leave them behind at my last hotel. At the KMart end of summer clearance, a nice beach towel is $6, flip flops $1.98. (That same size cotton towel in Berlin was $30.) $7.98 for "disposable clothes", heck that's less than the cost of one beer at NRT. :D I consider it an additional tip for the housekeeper, a nice towel she can take home.

Warning: Be careful what you leave. Overseas, less expensive rooms do not have refridgerators, but in wintertime crack the window and store food between the window and curtin, it will stay at 42° just like at home. I bought a sausage in Nuremberg, but it had too much garlic, I left it on the window ledge. I left my room, and no more than 90 seconds later am at the desk checking out when the phone rings and the clerk says "Housekeeping wants to know if you left a sausage in your room". How did she find it so fast? :D

I believe you answered your own question. :D

not just undies...
 

but a complete shave kit and rollaboard and a closet full of clothes, the trip before last, while at the Hacienda Hotel, a crew hotel close to LAX. :) the night before an early morning departure.
Reception had misassigned us to a room already occupied, electronic key and all!
As it happens though, there was/weren't also ()a *body*/ies in the room too, so we quietly closed the door and dragged our luggage back down to the reception area and asked for another room...and keys! IIRC they deducted 10% from the bill....

My absent-minded husband left a drawer full of clothes behind on one of our vacations. He managed to get the hotel to FED/EX them to us, and now I double-check to make sure he hasn't left anything behind!

Found a bag of seedy looking clothes including $2000 stuffed into a bra at a travelodge near O'Hare.

Yes I have
 

My secretary (a man) was staying in the Mayflower Hotel in DC. A few days later his wife joined him, and she found a pair of red women's pumps underneath the bed. They had been left by a previous guest, and the hotel went so far as to show his wife a letter of complaint sent by the previous guest re the hotel's failure to find the shoes, in order to to show that they didn't belong to a "guest" of my secretary's. What a lucky break for him that they had such a letter.

At the same hotel, I found a porn magazine under the bed once. It was so vile that I didn't throw it in the trash because I didn't want the housekeeper to find it. I took it down the hall and threw it down the trash chute.

No, no, no, porn mags go behind dresser drawers :D

We'd like to know what made you investigate "a bag of seedy looking clothes" closely enough to find money stuffed inside a bra inside the bag. :)

Or truly excellent service on the hotel's part ;)

A few weeks back, in SouthBeach ~ found a little plastic placard under the bed "Yes, We Cleaned Under Here Too!".

Guarding a bottle-cap.

We added another.
