Pranksters Promote Hotel Damage

From TravelMole.com:

The woman in a hotel room near Orlando International Airport was called by someone who claimed to be a front-desk clerk. There was a gas leak in their room. The hostel guest frantically relayed information to her husband about smashing the windows of their room with a toilet.

Then the caller told them to break the mirror on the wall…then to bash in the wall…then to throw the mattress out the window.

“When I broke the window, I got suspicious,” the man said. “It didn’t seem right, but she [his wife] was panicking, so I continued.”

By this time the Orlando couple began to be suspicious: They had become the latest victims of a prankster who are nationwide duping hotel guests into doing outrageous destruction of hotel rooms, including breaking hotel windows to test fire alarms.

I know I’m not supposed to laugh about these poor people, but the whole thing is so hilarious. Go read the article for more examples…
