...I don’t know why it popped into my head this morning but I steal stuff from hotels.../..little soaps/shampoos/hand creams etc from the bathroom...well not anymore because I never used them, so they just kept collecting and sitting there and I think that I gave them all away for someone else to collect...there’s something really lovely about miniature/small things, like they need to be taken and looked after because they’re so tiny.../...I don’t know what the psychology of it all is...

I think the majority of us do that. In fact it isnt stealing as those things were put in the room for us to use whether we choose to use them in the hotel or take them home to use the price we paid for the hotel room includes stuff like that. In fact at a pandemic like this I reckon it gets replaced after each visitor anyway. Where there is a line drawn is when towels and bathrobes get taken home. Although my wife accidently packed a towel before as we were in a rush and packing the towels we had brought and id thrown a hotel towel onto the pile she had made

...yeah you’re right, Jake...those toiletries are there for the use of the guests but I didn’t ever use them, though...either as a guest or as an ex-guest.....so I think that would probably come under ‘stealing’ as well as it was a compulsion, type thing and no reasoning to it...I didn’t need them, I didn’t want them but somehow I couldn’t help taking them../..Ross from Friends...if we were staying in the hotel for a week or so..?...I would steal them the first day so that they could be replaced the next day..so that I could steal them the next day as well and etc etc../..each day, once was never enough for something I didn’t need or use...which I think the psychology must be some kind of kleptomania, type thing...


...I reckon a towel would be an easy thing to pack by mistake...especially when your wife was rushed and her thoughts would have been of forgetting something she wouldn’t have wanted to forget...

When I was about 13/14/15 me and my friends used to get the bus to Chester and we normally had £20 each so bus fare, maccys and something cheap from new look or whatever but we kinda got into the habit of stealing jewellery from like Claire's and stuff like that, soon stopped when one of us was caught and the police came and took her home. Never ever again we were all petrified after that
