We all might take plenty of the shampoo and body lotion from the bathroom, the odd towel and maybe even a bathrobe. But would you really think about stealing a £500,000 ($1,000,000) gold bath tub from a hotel.
That’s what some thieves did at the Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo. Police were called after the chambermaid noticed the bath tub was missing from a room on the 10th floor. Quite how you would get through the front lobby of a hotel with a gold tub under your arm I don’t know, but there you go.
Tokyo Police Department are said to be “washed out” by the case.

Ever had the problem of your trainers getting wet and then retaining a smell like a rubbish tip?
Well, Nike might have come up with a neat solution for your next beach holiday. It’s rather strangely named the “Soaker Mid”.
These babies resemble the classic baseball boot of old, but with a whole load of new technology installed under the hood.
Made from recycled components, including polyethylene body and laces, these babies will keep you comfortable in or out of water.
I really like the styling and could see them being a great addition to my next holiday. Retailing for £60 ($120) there not going to break the bank either.
