Perhaps the housekeepers didn't actually confiscate Ole's deodorant 
and toothpaste, but instead "tidied" the room so well that he 
couldn't locate them.  Surely all of us have experienced occasions 
when we couldn't find something, even though it turned out to be very 
close at hand.  Then, after he complained, the housekeeping manager 
launched an inquiry which eventually yielded the staff member who had 
cleaned his room on the day in question, and after a day or so of 
thinking (and searching Ole's room while he was out), she succeeded 
in retrieving them, but they had been safe in his room the whole time.
