Study: Which items are stolen the most at hotels?

A new study by Wellness Heaven has revealed which items are stolen the most at hotels, according to a pool of mostly European hoteliers, with a striking difference in theft behaviour observed between guests in four-star and five-star hotels.

A total of 634 hoteliers from four-star hotels and 523 from five-star hotels were surveyed to determine the behaviour of thieves depending on their wealth. As it turns out, the probability of high-quality TV sets being stolen in five-star hotels is nine times higher in comparison to the four-star segment.

Similarly, artworks are popular objects of desire in luxury hotels (5.5 times higher theft probability). Tablet computers and mattresses are also being stolen a lot more frequently in five-star hotels.

Here are the most common items stolen in hotels, according to a survey of 1,157 hoteliers by Wellness Heaven:
