OHBOY! Weeks ago I stayed someplace. Alone. Today in the mail a package from the place - one of those plastic bag packages impossible to tear open. Guess what? A pair of men's boxer shorts inside - a little card - "found in your room and returned to you. You're welcome."
Neatly folded. Look brand new.
ummmm ... not mine. I don't wear boxer shorts.
Can you just imagine the scene this could've caused if I had a significant other?
I never returned something to a guest if they didn't ask about it, especially not underwear. Occasionally a valuable item like an earring would turn up but usually the guest missed it before we even found it and we negotiated its return. But a random pair of boxer shorts? I suppose I could have been sleeping in them.
The whole house is enjoying this one.

Oh my...I think you should let that innkeeper know the errors of her ways!
 
If you liked the place and the innkeeper has a sense of humor, I would let them know you'd like the person to whom those belong shipped back to you as well. ;-)
 
Wouldn't you think they'd check before paying postage and going to the trouble of shipping anything? Good for a laugh anyway.
Ah, Mort, good one.
 
Oiy! An innkeeper could be sued if shipping those shorts caused a divorce. Really....let her know that her kindness was not a good idea!
 
hahahahaha....
But I agree, I would contact the inn and let them know that those boxers aren't yours.
 
Woah! This is a great example to show you shouldn't send on an item unless you're contacted to do so!
I like Mort's response

HAHA! Wowzers!

Good one Mort! Make sure to add 'the one with the rippling abs'

Somebody left a pair of underwear at my place once, hanging from the ceiling fan over the bed.
Of course, it was the wild innkeepers road trip bunch, and I didn't notice them up there until they sent me a message saying, "be sure to look up".
So this might all be a joke from some innkeeper like Snaglepuss, or whatever he's calling himself this week.

definitely. I would let him/her know that this could have gone horribly wrong.
We never return things unless the guests is looking for it. I have many items, keep them for a year or until they are in my way but never just go ahead and send them. I would be cash poor by the time summer is over. Unbelievable what people leave behind
 
"It's the thought that counts" A good lesson for us to learn from anothers mistake.
 
My first thought was, eeewww, someone's underware was in your room???? Good thing YOU didn't find them first. Yuck.
And as others have said, lesson learned! We wait for the guest to call us to ask before we send anything back. Unless it's valuable. Then we call them.

Yes, I know he is here..... Online but under cover. Probably in the protection program. I wonder what he did?!?

Probably all that headbanging. Or hiding from Arks.
