A group of Dutch tourists who somehow managed to smash a large hole in the wall between two rooms at a hotel in Arenal had their passports withdrawn until they had paid for the damage.

Have you noticed that the Dutch are in the news every week now, and not in a good way?
Withdrawal of their passports won’t prevent them from flying back to the Netherlands. Both countries are in Schengen therefore no passport control either end.
Nine missed flights, spending weeks in Mallorca on bail, extra accommodation, not back at work etc. is going to cost them a LOT more than €2,000. Far more sensible to apologize and pay up.
