Light-fingered passengers flying first and business class are behind a mile-high pilfering epidemic, filching the high-value luxury treats available in their opulent cabins.
Virgin Airlines is missing 1,700 lightweight blankets since the start of the year and have become so inured to the purloining of their distinctive "jet engine" salt and pepper shakers that it now marks them with a tongue-in-cheek “Pinched from Virgin Atlantic” logo. Some 26,700 sets have gone missing over the last 12 months, the airline says.
Sites such as eBay feature BA blankets and Bulgari amenity bags made for Emirates. Etihad’s business class velvet plush throw sells for more than $130.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

As posted on the FB thread about this: during my 30+ years in have hospitality I have seen everything pilfered that wasn't nailed down. Actually, even if it was nailed down....
Never mind towels, bath robes and hangers; notable items included a massive and heavy standing ashtray, huge flower pots, bathroom fixtures, a flat-screen TV. Best was the guy that cut out a huge piece of carpet and took it home.
