The Sydney Morning Herald 1 carries a story revealing all kinds of weird 2 things taken away by hotel guests, and who they are.
各国人民住酒店都爱"顺"啥?
It says Argentinian travellers are the most likely to indulge in hotel misappropriation, a survey has suggested, with 73 per cent admitting to taking items – not including toiletries – from their room.
British guests, in comparison, would appear far more reticent 3 – with less than half of those surveyed owning up to pinching hotel property, putting them 16th out of 28 nationalities to feature.
The global poll of almost 5,000 travellers, conducted by Hotels.com, found that Singaporean and Spanish holiday makers 4 are also rather prone 5 to thievery, with seven in 10 taking items from their hotel. Germany, Ireland and Russia completed the top five.
At the other end of the scale, Colombians were found to be the least likely to take something – just 31 per cent admitting to bagging hotel property. They were followed by travellers from Norway, South Korea, Hong Kong and Denmark.
