Lost Your Porsche 911?

911_keyblack_amexhorserolex

What do all of these things have in common? They were all left at Travelodge hotels during 2008. So if you're looking for your keys to your Porsche 911, yep, maybe you left them at the Travelodge.

As it turns out the company is taking a bite out of the upscale hospitality business. Or at least attracting some upscale clientèle. This can be seen in some of the things being left at the chain's locations by guests:

  • 2 sets of keys for a Porsche 911 (not sure where the car was at)
  • Diamond Rolex watch
  • American Express Centurion Card (Black Card)
  • Wedding Dress left hanging on the back of a bathroom door
  • Pet lizard called Humphrey (not expensive, just weird)

What's one of the strangest things people have forgotten to take with them? A show jumping horse. That's right, a horse! The owners left the horse in his trailer parked in the hotel parking lot. The apparently were 30 minutes away before they remembered they'd left the horse behind.

    i could see leaving the credit card, the dress well the bride had other things on her mind, keys i don't have a clue since usually it takes keys to drive a car, the horse i'm still trying to think how they forgot that, and the rolex either they have multiples or they had a really rough night. those are sure weird things to leave

    So how drunk does one have to be to leave the keys to a car like that and not go back for them? The card is easy. i am going to assume that the marriage is not working out so well. Now the Horse, thats just weird. A dog maybe but a horse?

    So after the people who left the horse were 30 minutes away, did they decide that was too far away to go back and get it? ha.

    I can't believe anyone would be so stupid. I left a loaded Glock in a hotel.

    the reason why these people didn't go back is because they were ashamed that they stayed at a travelodge. maybe they are nicer in other areas but where i live they aren't

Should the term "truck" also apply to SUVs?
