Hotels are used to guests stealing towels, but a British couple apparently liked the shower in their room so much they took the entire unit home.
A man in his 50s and his companion in her 20s turned the water off in their room at the Globe Hotel in Topsham, before ripping the shower right out of the bathroom wall, Sky News reported Thursday.
Hotel owner Liz Hodges said the couple paid for their room with cash and left her with a huge repair bill.
"I have never experienced anything on this scale before," she said. "I just cannot believe someone would do this."
Police Sgt. Alan Mobbs also called the theft unusual.
"Particularly when you consider the efforts needed to physically take a shower from the wall," he said.
