    Possibly somebody who knows your wife and has her contact details stored in the address book?

    Security guards are not exactly the brightest of sparks.

    I was stumped, but my OH had an idea (which seems rather simple now he's said it!) Ring security back, and ask them to switch it on and tell you what music tracks are on it. If it has her tracks on it, then it's hers, and she has some explaining to do. Alternatively, if they can't provide you with any names, or name something she wouldn't have on there, then they've obtained the information some other way. Simple :)

    Here's what might have happened:
    1. Wife secretly stays in hotel but leaves her iPod in the draw.
    2. On realising the loss she buys a new iPod that looks exactly the same.
    3. Cleaners find the original iPod and hand it into security.
    4. Security looks at the records of who stayed in that room last and calls them.

    5. Wife is 21st Russian spy?
    6. Wife has a secret twin.
    7. After a terrible mix up at the chinese factory. all ipods have your wifes details on them
    8. Fracture in the space time continum, resulting in an ipod from a parallel universe falling on a hotel in Watford.
    9. Watford has been taken over by a sect of cannibals, the ipod thing is just a ruse to get people to watford, as soon as you're off the M25 you'll be dragged out of the car and put in the pot.
