Hotel rooms are, by their very nature, unfamiliar.
Things are not where you expect, and it can be hard to completely settle when you aren’t in your own space.
But for one Reddit user, hotel rooms are about to be a definite source of anxiety.
When tbug411 walked into her hotel room in Florida, a woman was standing in her bathroom, stealing her things.
“Rebecca and I walked to our rooms and as we stood outside of our rooms, I opened mine and I saw someone in the bathroom. I said, “hello…” Nobody answered. My first instinct was that it was a cleaning lady in there for some reason – and then I saw MY bag with MY clothes in her hands,” she explained in the post.
After chasing her out, she realised her medication was missing.
“I went into my room and it’s been ransacked. I did a quick look around to see if anything had been taken. All of my electronics were still there. Then I went into the bathroom and I saw my underwear, my bikini, and my clothes shoved into my own bags randomly. Even my passport was shoved in there!! Then I looked on the counter and I saw that she got into my medication. I’m not sure what was going through my head at the moment other than I wanted it back, so I ran out the door to go find her,” she wrote. Unable to locate the woman, she called the police.
When the police came to inspect the hotel, the woman noticed drywall in the sink. It was deemed an unnecessary detail in the investigation, but it continued to play on her mind.

This story seems really dubious. A typical wall has 3.5 inches of internal space. Not enough for anyone to live in. Drywall is very delicate, and any bump or scrapping will cause it to crumble along the edges; I'm not seeing that. The hole is also very narrow and it would be very difficult to crawl in and out at that height. How's a junkie putting the mirror back on the wall when she's inside the wall? Where's the nail hole for hanging the mirror? The photo is most likely some crappy hotel and someone fabricated a story based on the image.
It was a motel with doors to the outside, so a crawl space down the center of the building with the pipes for the bathrooms. And if you look on the wall just to the inside of the lights, you can see the brackets the mirror was hanging on. Only attached to the top, we think it swung out like a cat door. She didn’t have to go back that way, there was probably additional access from the outside.
This is a real horror story! There’s even a pair of decapitated legs reflected in the mirror!
