EULESS -- For at least one customer, Tom Bodett probably won't be leaving the light on.
A thief took two cotton towels, two hand towels and an ashtray from a Motel 6 in the 100 block of Airport Freeway on Monday.
A police report did not have the dollar loss in the theft.
Bodett, the longtime spokesman for Motel 6, uses his trademark promise that "We'll leave the light on for you" to entice customers to the economy motels.
But Bodett won't be losing sleep over the Euless theft.

At first I thought this was from the Onion, but no, it's a real article about a guy stealing four towels and an ash tray from a Motel 6. BTW, this is the same newspaper that carried Molly Ivins.

Throw the book at him. Innkeepers have had enough of the scum sucking criminals who steal towels and glassware from their establishments.
Hope he rots in prison.

That story hit the wires the same day the nation was laughing at Boston for "overreacting" to a guerilla advertising campaign.

Theft is theft. Theft is a crime. Prisons are for criminals.Prisons are for FELONS. Jails are for misdemeanants.
If you are willing to call four towels and an ashtray a felony, then you are part of the problem of the PoliceStatization of America.
