A life-sized Dalek and a set of gold teeth worth $6,500 are just some of the odd items left in rooms by guests, a hotel chain has revealed.
Bosses at Travelodge say other bizarre things left in their rooms in 2010 include an antique rocking horse, a 4ft yam and $10,000 in cash.
After reviewing their lost and found offices staff were also surprised to find a superintendent’s ID badge, Keys to a Rolls Royce Phantom and a traffic lollipop stick.
Meanwhile the most common items left behind were mobile phones, gadgets, laptop computers, teddy bears and books.
Slightly worryingly artificial limbs were the seventh most frequently forgotten items… followed by adult toys.

Mass animal deaths reported around the world in the last week have been causing world-wide alarm and speculation.
In the United States, the animal deaths gained media attention when up to 5,000 blackbirds in Arkansas mysteriously fell out of the sky, 360 miles south of Beebe, Ark.
A few days later an estimated 500 red-winged blackbirds and starlings were found dead in Louisiana- a short distance away from where the other 5,000 plummeted to their deaths. More animal deaths were reported in Tennessee.
Signs of the “Aflockalypse,” as some are calling it, are popping up all over the globe.
Residents at Sorrento Woods in Venice, Florida have a new neighbor: an orange alligator!
Sylvia Mythen first saw the alligator on Wednesday on her way to work. “I thought, this is great. I’m going to snap a picture and send it to my grandkids so they think I’m the coolest grandma in Florida,” she told WWSB in this video (via CNN).
The fish weighed in at 342 kg and was caught off the most northerly Japanese island of Hokkaido. The price far surpassed the previous record of Y20.3 million (£158,807) set in January 2001 for a 202-kg tuna.
The fish was reportedly purchased by a wholesaler and will be sold on to up-market sushi restaurants in Japan and Hong Kong at a price of Y95,000 (£743) per kilogramme.
