Five Star Hotel in Abuja



I was in the five star hotel in Abuja and among the things i found in the room was a very well placed list of the following;
Dear esteemed guest, The under listed items are not to be taken away but are for your comfort and convenience while you enjoy your stay with us.
Bed sheets, blanket, curtains, bedcover, pillow/pillowcases, all towels, kettle, tea trays tea cups/spoons, tea basket, stationary
 stand, ashtray, glass cups, remote control, television, refrigerators, mini safe box, tables/standing lamps, waste bins or trash cans, amenity tray, wall picture frames, room service menu...
What came to my mind as i read this list was that patrons of this hotel often took away hotel property i am surprised even the TVs are mentioned. What do you think about this? Do we do it here in Uganda? I know in many hotels people steal things, i do not think this is stealing to put it mildly it is robbery of the hotel. But the whole thing goes back to our upbringing, our values, our understanding because you have paid some dollars doesn't entitle you to take away hotel property. People normally take away hand lotions they've used but the blanket and TV, you are taking away the hotel. My friends a hotel is a temporary place of aboard and the things they are for your use and use of others. Please do not take them away.
