Took the hotel hair dryer. Did I break the law?

Legal analysis: illegal. As long as it's something that doesn't belong to you, it's theft to take it away without authorization and have the intention to take it for yourself. According to the relevant national laws and regulations, if the amount of theft does not reach a certain standard, it does not constitute theft and is not subject to criminal punishment, but it needs to be punished by public security management.

Legal basis: Article 264 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), whoever steals public or private property in a relatively large amount, or repeatedly steals, enters a house, steals with a weapon or pickpockets, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated.
