Wedding Rings And Things Left Behind
Hotel employees say that when people check out of their rooms they leave the oddest things behind and there are strange stories that emerge when it comes to hotel check outs and leave-behinds. Whether it is by accident or design, the people who work in many hotels are very amused and sometimes shocked at what people tend to leave behind when they check out.
Leaving junk behind is understandable – shoes or sandals that are old, socks with holes in them, clothes that are torn or ripped, chocolate wrappers, empty wafer packs, etc. However when staff find wedding rings lying around, then that is a whole different story. Leaving a wedding ring could just be forgetfulness or it could have a ring of finality about it and it could have been left behind in anger. There was one case where a couple had left their wedding rings behind after their honeymoon. There was also an instance when a diamond necklace was found in the drain and the owner had obviously flushed it down. Apparently, their twin daughters had passed away recently and the necklace had two diamonds which had been set to represent them.
There have been other strange cases as well. There was a case where a man’s Ferrari keys were left behind but when the staff ran to return them to him, he and his Ferrari were gone. One wonders how many duplicate keys he carried around with him! There was also someone who had obviously gone fishing and caught a shark which he had kept in the hotel room’s bathtub in Portugal – little realising that sharks don’t survive in tap water. So he left it behind much to the shock of the maid who came in to clean the room after he left. A hotel employee found a prosthetic limb too and wondered how on earth the person left the room without it.
