Give me one legitimate reason for a hotel to shred any passport. Passports are the property of the government that issued it. If lost or found (which, is hard to do inside a hotel) they are to be sent back to be destroyed. So give me your one good reason any passport should ever be mistakenly destroyed, let alone 40

One hypothesis: The hotel routinely collects sensitive documents to be shredded by a service. The front desk clerk put the passports in a large envelope, and another employee, possibly new in their position, mistakenly sent the wrong envelope to be shredded. Nobody knowingly shredded passports.
