Crazy Guests (a little venting can't hurt, can it?)

Saw Michael's post just now where he discovered a guest had taken a small heater- which is really a bummer. What are some of the weird experiences you all have had?

I'll start off with my small list. I've had people take the salt and pepper grinders. One person took a new cooling pillow and replaced it with their crappy old pillow. The strangest thing I've had taken so far is my solid wood hangers. They got replaced with all black plastic ones. Kind of like- I feel slightly bad for taking your wood ones so I'm leaving you some cheap plastic ones instead. Weird.

This is all small potatoes, I know. We did have a set of guests who left dents in the drywall, blood and vomit on the sheets and towels, gave zero heads-up, then got upset they got a 1-star rating instead of the 5 they're used to. That's crazy, lol.

So in addition to what I just posted @Christina B., we have had a broken window (the locking mechanism), someone busted up the queen futon frame, someone took the waffle maker, beach towels go missing all the time, TV remotes gone, etc.

People like to put stuff in places they think they should be. Almost nothing makes it to the right cabinet in the kitchen. Someone took the little basket that holds soap and shampoo and the sign on the back of the toilet and placed them waaay in the back of the bathroom cabinet.

Someone removed the tiny little LED lights I have on this 8 foot tall fake ficus in the kids bunk room and put in on the deck.
