Who says you can't be rewarded for bad behavior?!

In honor of their 125th anniversary, a hotel in New Orleans, 'The Roosevelt,' is celebrating with a unique contest.

They have taken a rather odd approach in retrieving stolen items taken from guests past and are offering a free 7-night stay if those guests return whatever they once stole from the property.  The following has already been sent in: The Grunewald plates (from 1893-1923), a 1959 vinyl, and a tablecloth from a room where Louis Armstrong once performed.

Management surprisingly finds it flattering that people would want to keep a piece of their hotel with them in their personal lives, and plans to display all returned items aa part of a "collection" to commemorate the 125th anniversary of The Roosevelt! Sometimes being bad can feel good... now it might pay off too!
