People will take the darndest things from a hotel. Towels, soap, etc., that is the norm.
However, we have had folks take the batteries out of the smoke detectors (what does anyone use a 9-volt battery for anyway, these days?); photos from the walls and even flashlights.
The other day, though, was a first.
A nice, elderly couple, checked out of one of the tree houses and turned in their keys and the gate opener. Several hours later, another couple checked in, and we gave them their keys and gate opener (which is a Genie garage opener, just like back in the States). About 30 minutes later, they came back and said the gate opener wasn't working.
Not a problem, the batteries (tiny, cylindrical things) can go bad and we always keep extras around.
This time, though, when we cracked open the device, the battery had been taken out.
We're not experts, though we suspect that the batteries in the gate openers are larger than what goes in hearing-aids, though who knows? At least the couple can now hear one another (it was a bit dicey at times when they were talking to us, each other and other guests).
