I'm currently staying at a hotel in Springfield, MO for week-long training. They bolted the fucking flat-screen TV to the 4x4x3 dresser! I had to move the whole thing just to be able to watch it while I work on my laptop.
Which means that someone has walked out with their flat-screens in the past.
It's more a safety thing, so little kids don't knock them off and their parents sue them.
