Let this be a lesson to all of us: stealing a barrel of candy and then hiding it in your hotel room will get you in serious trouble with the law.

A young lady in Wyoming has found her name splashed across headlines today after she was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property because she "had a pilfered barrel of cinnamon bear candies" in her hotel room. Headlines. This has made headlines today.

And the worst part? Police had come to her hotel room because of an accidental 911 call when they noticed the stolen cinnamon bears in question:

Investigators said they responded to a 911 call from a Days Inn hotel room in Casper [Wyoming] at about 8:20 p.m. Saturday and noticed the large barrel of candies after determining that the call was an accident, the (Casper) Star-Tribune reported Wednesday.

A police affidavit said the officers recognized the barrel from Poor Boys Steak House and contacted the manger of the restaurant, who confirmed a candy barrel was missing.

Nothing.Everything. No hot water. Did not replace towels, had to call for them daily. 1st room we were sent to did not have a doorknob.

The hotel's location was so far from the malls and shopping area.

The room smelled awful when we walked in, truly overwhelming. We had to open the window and the door and let it air out for nearly an hour, with the poorly-working air conditioner running.

The smell was something we couldn't place. The deadbolt had been busted and was no longer usable. Everything was old in the room except the shower rod and curtain, which were brand new. I woke up to one of my roommates saying, "I think someone died in this room."

Considering the circumstances, it seems likely (perhaps put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, locked the bolt, and hung him-/herself from the shower rod. The person stayed past however long they had paid, and eventually the door was forced, breaking the bolt. It was the only explanation of which we could think.

But at checkout, when we asked the woman at the front desk if anything had happened in that room recently, she looked quite serious, blinked very quickly and strangely, and asked, "Why? What makes you think that?" If something did happen, they should have at least aired out the room. Even if nothing did happen, the stay was certainly not an enjoyable one at all, and quite a bit eerie. I would not go back.

The room did not smell good and the bedspread was dirty.
