Golden bathtub stolen from Japanese hotel |

Golden bathtub stolen from Japanese hotel
Fancy tub weighs 176 pounds and is worth nearly $1 million
Updated: 7:10 a.m. ET May 30, 2007
TOKYO - {AP}A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1 million
has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday.
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo,
notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the hotel’s guest
bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police official who
only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold and weighs 176
pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main feature of the
hotel’s shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the tub, but it is
only available a few hours a day “for security reasons,” the hotel’s Web
site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of a small section
of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not riveted, and made
off with the tub, Ogawa said.
“We have no witness information and there are no video cameras,” he
said. “We have no idea who took it,” the official said.
--
Atheist n A person to be pitied in that he is
unable to believe things for which there is
no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of
a convenient means of feeling superior to others.

I've heard of taking the towels, but the bath as well?
A bit difficult to fit one of those in a suitcase!
I know.
It was a Sumo wrestler dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that
carried it out of the hotel.
A quick coat of green paint, a couple of shoulder straps and voila, the
perfect disguise.

weighed down guilt.

Golden bathtub stolen from Japanese hotel
Fancy tub weighs 176 pounds and is worth nearly $1 million
Updated: 7:10 a.m. ET May 30, 2007
TOKYO - {AP}A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1
million
has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday.
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo,
notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the hotel=3Fs
guest
bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police official
who
only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold and weighs
176
pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main feature of
the
hotel=3Fs shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the tub, but
it
is
only available a few hours a day =3Ffor security reasons,=3F the
hotel=3Fs Web
site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of a small
section
of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not riveted, and
made
off with the tub, Ogawa said.
=3FWe have no witness information and there are no video
cameras,=3F
he
said. =3FWe have no idea who took it,=3F the official said.
Look for a clean crook with expensive tastes.
A bath made out of gold. That's what you call heavy water. Only a sumo
wrestler surely could hold such a thing under his arm as he takes the
lift down to ground floor smiling at the other patrons. Or would he be
weighed down guilt.
Or would that be weighed down with gilt? I wonder how they did manage to
sneak it out?
Wore it as "bling".
Some "bling". It's good for the crook that no one was chasing him since
I doubt with all that bling, he could run very fast.
But he could certainly do some damage with it if he decided to "stand
his ground".
You'd be down the plug-hole quicker than a prison soap bar.
I don't think I'd want to be socked by a golden bathtub.
It would make for an interesting head-stone!

Died nobly standing his ground, after being socked on the noggin by a
solid gold bathtub wielded by a Sumo gangsta-rapper."

Golden bathtub stolen from Japanese hotel
Fancy tub weighs 176 pounds and is worth nearly $1
million
Updated: 7:10 a.m. ET May 30, 2007
TOKYO - {AP}A glittering bathtub made of gold worth
nearly $1
million
has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said
Wednesday.
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of
Tokyo,
notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the
hotel=3Fs
guest
bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police
official
who
only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold
and
weighs
176
pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main
feature
of
the
hotel=3Fs shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the
tub,
but
it
is
only available a few hours a day =3Ffor security
reasons,=3F
the
hotel=3Fs Web
site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of
a
small
section
of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not
riveted,
and
made
off with the tub, Ogawa said.
=3FWe have no witness information and there are no video
cameras,=3F
he
said. =3FWe have no idea who took it,=3F the official
said.
Look for a clean crook with expensive tastes.
A bath made out of gold. That's what you call heavy water.
Only a
sumo
wrestler surely could hold such a thing under his arm as he
takes
the
lift down to ground floor smiling at the other patrons. Or
would
he
be
weighed down guilt.
Or would that be weighed down with gilt? I wonder how they did
manage
to
sneak it out?
Wore it as "bling".
Some "bling". It's good for the crook that no one was chasing him
since
I doubt with all that bling, he could run very fast.
But he could certainly do some damage with it if he decided to
"stand
his ground".
You'd be down the plug-hole quicker than a prison soap bar.
I don't think I'd want to be socked by a golden bathtub.
It would make for an interesting head-stone!
--
That would be going out in style.
It sure beats Elvis' bathroom demise.
I'll be Elvis didn't even have a gold bathtub.
--
Did Liberace (the perjuror) have one?
Seems to have had everything else made of gold.

A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo,

Except for the ring.
Bath-ring/whistle, oh never mind.
I'm off to 'take' a bath.
Perhaps that is it.
The guest signed a form saying that were going to "take a bath", and
the lawyers didn't have a thing on him/her.
No "dirt", in the parlance of the professional *****.
Sam Spade would be headed down the plug-hole with this heist.

TOKYO - {AP}A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1 million
has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday.
A worker at Kominato Hotel Mikazuki in Kamogawa, south of Tokyo,
notified police that the fancy tub was missing from the hotel’s guest
bathroom on the 10th floor, according to a local police official who
only gave his surname, Ogawa.
The round tub, worth $987,000, is made of 18-karat gold and weighs 176
pounds.
The tub, flanked by two crane statues, has been a main feature of the
hotel’s shared bathroom. Visitors can take a dip in the tub, but it is
only available a few hours a day “for security reasons,” the hotel’s
Web site said.
Someone apparently cut the chain attached to the door of a small
section of the bathroom where the bathtub was placed, but not riveted,
and made off with the tub, Ogawa said.
“We have no witness information and there are no video cameras,” he
said. “We have no idea who took it,” the official said.
I guess they got clean away.
