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.

Hey martin,
If you are gonna swipe towels from a hotel, go somewhere that has a better quality of towels to swipe!

Book 'im, Dano, I think we have a serial towel lifter.

I admit that I use the hotel laundry bags to wrap my dirty laundry in to take home. Since I didn't use the bag to send out my laundry, am I stealing the bags?

Hold out for a Super 8...their linens are much superior.

Motel 6's washcloths are only useful for that after-shower "skidmark check"...

I was impressed with the fact that the police took a report on four missing towels and an ash tray.

OK, Ern, that's just wrong...

OK, so I'm chuckling.

I do the same thing. Guess we'll be seeing each other at Huntsville.

They have to catch us first. You, being the Fugitive, I guess I'll be leaving the light on for you.
