Cue the Twilight Zone music:
So I checked out of the W Retreat & Spa Bali a couple of nights ago, and got the following email from the hotel about a day after check-out:
Dear Mr. Ben,
We Thank you very much for choosing W Retreat & Spa Bali during your recent Bali Holiday.
Trust that you have had a safe and enjoyable safe trip back home.
Our Style Team has worked to clean up the room you stayed in after your departure on July 30, 2012 at # 430
And we found some items were left in the room. They are :
- 1 pcs bag pack , “ The North Face “, black color.
Please, advise us of how would you like us to expedite those items. Or if you would like to us to store the item in our Lost and Found storage for you to collect when you return to stay with us again, please advise us.
Do not hesitate to reach out to us should there be anything else we can do.
All the best,
reyza

Okay, seems normal enough, right (aside from the hilarity of the employee’s job title)?
But here’s the catch — I did have a North Face backpack, except I didn’t leave it at the hotel. It’s with me in Germany, 7,000 miles away, actually:

So it’s not like they just sent the email to the wrong room, since I did have that backpack.
Can anyone come up with any sort of a plausible explanation? Or have we just crossed over into the Twilight Zone?
