A $16,000 necklace, fake limbs, sex toys, a snake, a nun's habit, a riding crop and even a baby are among the items left behind in hotel rooms. This, and other interesting tidbits, were uncovered during a recent survey by Novotel Hotels on guests at their properties. The survey found that female guests are watching porn and stealing, while nudity in hotel hallways largely remains the domain of men. The valuable necklace was found by staff in Christchurch, New Zealand more than 5 years ago, and its owner is still a mystery. The hotel's general manager said the necklace had been found in a safe. Staff had also found sex toys and clothing in hotel rooms, the managre said. The other items were found in Novotel hotels in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. The Novotel survey also found that more amorous couples were being caught in the act on hotel security cameras. There had been a big increase in the number of couples caught "canoodling" in pools, spas, saunas, hallways, stairwells, bars and even storeroom cupboards. More female guests were watching porn, 12% of all adult movies were ordered by women compared with 8% 10 years ago. However, men were the most likely to be caught outside their rooms naked, with 71% of all cases being men. More women were leaving their rooms in a shambles, and flooding their hotel bathrooms. Females also appear to be the most light-fingered, with bathrobes, hair dryers, cushions and even toilet paper leaving with the guests. Among the hotels' more unusual requests were that 33 rubber ducks be placed in the bathtub before a guest's girlfriend checked in, and that a bath be filled with red wine. A Novotel staff member had also been hit on the head by a sex toy thrown over a balcony by an angry husband, while another was asked to remove a "hazardous reptile" from a guest's room, which turned out to be a 3-centimetre gecko resting above a bed.
