Gold Bath Stolen From Japanese Hotel

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.
