TOKYO, May 30 (RIA Novosti) - A gold bath worth an estimated $1 million has been stolen from a luxury hotel in the Japanese town of Kamogawa, near Tokyo, local police said.
They said a hotel employee discovered the theft during a routine check Wednesday, but when the theft took place remains a mystery.
According to investigators, it most likely happened early Wednesday morning.
The tub weighing 80 kilograms (approximately 176 pounds), stolen from a gentlemen's bathroom on the tenth floor, was one of three gold baths in the hotel chain. When not in use, this bathroom is normally locked.
