Hail to the Suite (washingtonpost.com)

"The week of the inauguration could easily be coined the week of the fabulously rich and famous. Several of Washington's luxury hotels have set their sights on the biggest of big spenders. Cue Robin Leach: 'Hey travelers, how would you like your own private jet service, butler-drawn baths and a 3,500-square-foot hotel suite? You'll be wearing the finest custom couture as you emerge at the inaugural ball in your chauffeur-driven limousine!'
The price range: $5,000-$200,500 for a four-night stay."

This shit does not belong in newpapers that are for people. These prices are obscene. A person could get shot in a place like this and I would not feel bad: they have no business being there.
Ethically, it is absolutely fair to rob these people. And it would be a blessing.
The only thing that sucks is that there are not carrying cash. So, I guess the only thing is to get the name and address. I mean, if they are willing to play 200K for a weekend of pleasure, what would they pay for the pleasure of having a family member returned to them? Not to mention the wonderful lesson in value they would get.
