Britons take home 430,000 gallons (1.95m litres) of shampoo from hotels every year, a survey has found.

Small bottles of shampoo were the items most likely to be "stolen" by guests - around 70% of people questioned by hotels.com admitted they removed them.

Thought it was quite amusing actually, and have added a poll to find out how many of the members of Ghost Forum have stolen hotel toiletries!!!

No, I havent stolen any shampoo!
People should bring their own shampoos and toiletories, then the hotels dont have to worry about losing thousands of pounds! :D

Well I do take them the cleaners chuck them if you have used them anyway, as in bars of soap etc.So waste not,want not.

Bit of a technicality, but how can someone steal something that they have already paid for?

I use hotels a lot and always use the shampoo and stuff - saves carrying the things around with you.
