Stupidity knows no bounds!

Newlywed couple stripped their five-star hotel room bare - taking the dressing gowns, sheets, paintings... and even the TELEVISION.

Laura and Christoher Barnett fled with slippers, dressing gowns, Egyptian linen sheets, pillows, everything in the minibar, bedside telephone and the flat-screen television.

A court heard Laura Barnett, 25, and new husband Christopher, 38, checked into the Grade II-listed Morgans Hotel in Swansea, South Wales, for a romantic break.

But when they tried to checked out of the £90-a-night Osprey suite, staff discovered they had left the room almost bare.

The couple had passed the TV through a window then loaded up their luggage with all the rest of their five-star plunder.

The court heard they were caught when Barnett argued the bill for a pay-per-view movie - saying the room didn’t have a television.

Prosecutor Sharon Anderson said: 'The couple checked in before going on a night out in Swansea city centre.

'They returned at 6.40am after drinking heavily. At 9am CCTV recorded Laura Barnett leaving the hotel carrying a large bag.

'That bag contained linen, dressing gowns, the contents of the minibar, a telephone and even pictures from the walls of the room.

The couple, from Port Talbot, South Wales, eventually admitted taking part in the theft.
