    Gosh, wasn't it ear-phones that had been stolen, by your cleaner as you suspected?

    Years ago OH left a bag containing our passports and an expensive camera on an airport shuttle bus.

    The driver rang one of our emergency contacts to get a message to us.

    Flipping annoying,but not the end of the world. Always think about Karma so the person who has them will get payback at some time!!!!
    ....... or playback!!
  • To be fair to hotel they've offered to check CCTV. Be interesting if they see who picked them up.

    The hotel asks for ID when you check in so potentially they could see who this person was.

    Be interesting if that happened. Not sure what would happen then.....
    A polite chat from the hotel maybe (who would have the contact details) such as "We see you picked those up and I'm sure you were going to hand them in and forgot but if you'd like to drop them off at reception....."

    If not, surely the police may be a little more interested?

    They were my sons. Never ever turned up. So we still fully suspect the cleaner took them.... But thats all water under the bridge now.

    Yes thing is I'm sure most people are honest. Or I used to think so. Surely 99% of the population wouldnt just keep something.
  • So any recommendations for replacements? :-)

    Yeah, check in the bottom of your bag just in case they are there.

    and stop buying headphones if you keep losing them.

    Stick a tracker device on your next pair.
