OK, we installed the new lock for the hall bathroom maybe 4-6 weeks ago. (Who remembers!) Anyway, this weekend a guest left with the key. She had 'locked' the door (ie- the latch was out but the door was open) so the door could not be closed. We have a spare key, but only one. Hubs went to the store to get a new key made, no luck. So he went to HD and bought the same lock (actually not caring about the lock, but he got duplicate keys from that lockset that match the ones we need).
So, how long did it take the other guests to realize the bathroom door wasn't locked and to go in and take all of the towels? About an hour.
I was sitting in my office and heard guests talking outside about the 'cute little bathroom in the hall' and I ran. What the hell. The door is closed, it says 'private' and all the towels are gone. Can't leave anything alone for a minute.
I had the housekeeper look for the towels this morning. Found them exactly where I thought they would be. Long time repeat guest. She KNOWS she can ask me for anything. I bet she did this last year, too, so just did it again. Makes me crazy. But, now I know for NEXT year.
