Tareq Salahi: Michaele Stole Bathrobes From Hotels

Tareq Salahi, he of White House Party Crashers fame , is filing for divorce from his wife, Michaele, after she apparently left him for Journey guitarist Neal Schon and being sure to drag her name through the mud in the process.

Salahi headed over to TMZ -- as one who has been publicly humiliated does -- and announced that he is selling off items from their marriage, including his wedding ring, priceless art and...the hotel bathrobes Michaele apparently collected.

Salahi is selling the items this weekend on a website called 9021go.com to "bring closure." That's all fine and good but what's with the bathrobes? Salahi says that whenever they arrived at hotels, Michaele would call the front desk to get a fresh bathrobe, saying there was one missing, that way "when we checked out we would not be charged for taking it."

As a result, Salahi is tossing in roughly 50 bathrobes that Michaele has stolen over the years.

Which got us thinking. What is the weirdest thing people have taken from hotels? Surely bathrobes aren't that odd and most everyone would cop to taking the shampoos, but what else?

Well, World Cup staffers in South Africa took some souvenirs from guests rooms and a Rembrandt sketch was even stolen from a Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, California.

So what's the oddest thing you've ever taken from a hotel room? Come on, fess up and leave it in comments. Points for the strangest story: To the winner went the spoils.

Wow sounds like a real score for everyone, Michaele, gets hotel robes (yeah better than cars or jewels) Neil Shon gets an over the hill robe wearing groupie, and finally Tareq makes a dynamic profit selling his cheating soon to be ex wife's used hotel robes.

I feel a need to travel...

Since he is doing this to her, what did he do to his family when fighting over that dead vineyard?? Bet that was interesting & humiliating for his family.....but apparently not HIM. Good thing she has dumped his sorry butt & is now getting something he really can't provide...a real relationship. I hope his auction nets him 'ZERO' dollars. Would serve him right, besides, he should give it to the White House for the invasion....hahahaha

Wow what a peach of a man he is not. He is more like a three year old throwing a tantrum as he did not get his own way. No wonder she looked to greener pastures. I also wonder if he thinks she is the only person that steals the robes, etc. in the rooms. I have always felt that is why the rooms are so expensive, to cover the price of the robes, ash trays, and all else that is not nailed down. Tax write off for the business.......

Tareq apparently failed to mention that he had to go to court after being sued for money he owed, then tried to pay it off with a Rolex watch....until the judge discovered it was a fake. Guess the stolen bathrobes were so important that he forgot that little bit of insight into his own character.

If they are rich, why couldn't she just BUY the bathrobes? And who needs 50 bathrobes??? Why doesn't he return the bathrobes to the hotels? He admits that he knew that they were stolen. Isn't selling stolen property illegal?

don't tell anyone, but sometimes when i checked into a hotel or motel, i would find some coffee the staff had forgot and left in my room- when i was sure no one was around, i would make some and drink it- and i would steal candy the maid had dropped on my pillow by accident and then i will eat it- and sometimes, i would sneak into this room down by the lobby and pilfer some pastry for breakfast because there is no one guarding it and its just sitting there along with some fruit and juice

Hey, Tareq, not only does she steal bathrobes, but she also bangs the daylights out of rock stars. Live with it, fatty.

come on, be fair- its not that impressive to be banging washed up, overrated and not that talented rock stars- now if she could claim she was banging eric clapton that would be something- it would really be something if she could claim she was banging jimi hendrix since he is dead- but i would still be impressed

In America we glorify so many worthless people. Where else could the daughter of an insigificant failed politico become a celebrity herself without having a single talent or virtue? But now we have reached a new low by providing celebrity hounds with the very thing they have been barking for despite endless proof that the are dishonorable, dishonest and utterly unworthy social climbers.
