Strangest thing you've had stolen from you?

Not me, but after I’d got married, my parents had a break in. They left lots of valuable antiques but took the microwave oven.

Returned to our student house one evening to find that someone had nicked the gas boiler and the fridge. Thankfully, the landlord believed us.

😂😂

we had an old house brick with a trio of letters stamped into it, very ordinary but we kept it because of the letters. Next doors builders nicked it, we know it was one of them, my partner spoke to the foreman and it was returned the next day. We also had a stags horn hanging up and I removed it somewhere safe as one of the builders had shown an interest in it and asked could he have it.

Not me, but local to me a couple of people have had newly planted laurel trees nicked.

Were you also innocently carrying them down the street in Lombok, Indonesia, when an errant vicious monkey demanded them?

Ooh, a monkey stole my and my husband's toothbrushes several years ago!

My dad had a 6 foot conifer/Christmas tree growing in his back garden - one December he noticed it was missing - someone had just come in over the fence, cut it down and stolen it.

Old house got broken into Xmas week of 2009 so all presents out and ready to be wrapped, tones of cash and even our new puppy downstairs.... for them to just take all the carrots?! and some chocolate boxes.
My uncle chased them down the street while we called the police and said they were off their heads on drugs so would of probably just grabbed the first thing they saw

I just love that you were driving around in a 2CV wearing a floppy black velvet beret! 😂❤️

A younger cousin,in their teens so should know better, stole my dad's hairbrush . He's very fussy about the brush he uses they are old style with black bristles made from some sort of soft plastic and cannot be got anywhere these days . He said she picked it up brushed her hair and put it in her bag. He visited a few weeks later and saw it and stole it back 😆.

Had a house party and someone stole the plug for my phone charger. Unplugged it, took the plug, left the lead sad and alone next to the socket.

Bizarre.

Some years ago my uncle went to outpatients and when he returned to the car a very smart woman was removing the newly planted spring flowers from the hospital borders.
Uncle told her to stop but she was brazen.

£10

My ex is a nasty piece of work and refused to pay for his kids,so I was really struggling to feed them (he of course had money,he just didn't see why he should have to feed his own children)

I'd save £10 to cover us for food over the weekend

The bellend ex came round to pick up his kids (he was only doing this to control and hurt me)

I went for the tenner so I could nip to the shop and it had gone

He'd been the only person that could have taken it

He denied it but I know he did by the look on his face

£10 was loose pocket change to him but was my lifeline

A few years later,I had a friend who was jealous of my life and would help herself to anything she thought she deserved

A necklace,my mobile phone,make up,the kids/my clothes and money all disappeared

When I'd realised,I dumped her and she started claiming id stolen from her!

Took me over a year to shake her off

A set of ratty old hair extensions and a full bottle of fabric conditioner were the more bizarre items stolen from us when broken into.

I once moved into a student flat, and inside we found a park bench, two Dundee city council bins (huge green things), a coffee table made of bound stacks of newspapers (the kind that delivery companies leave outside the newsagents at 5am), a giant cable reel coffee table, several traffic cones, a danger men at work sign over the toilet and a crossing lollipop.

I think it’s just changed a bit, it used to be pickpocketing, house clearances and now I hear of more coming in the house to get car keys, getting into cars to nick things, power tools from vans and sheds.
The thing is in most of these posts I see on fb, the car or house has been left unlocked. I don’t get why anyone doesn’t lock things

A beautiful red wool coat from the coat rack in the porch of my parents’ house. I came in, took it off, had dinner and when I went to leave it was gone. No-one else had left the house & you can see through to the porch as the door has a glass pane. Complete and utter mystery.

Having a colonoscopy on Friday. The package with letter was posted to me on Thursday. It arrived damaged as RM put package in a plastic bag "apologies that your mail was received like this". The package was sliced down one side and the Plenvu prep pack was missing. If it fell out, the package would have been more torn.

Hopefully whoever stole the Plenvu didn't realise its strong laxatives and took them before reading the pack!😆

When we were burgled, they took jewellery, and for some reason the roller blind from the bedroom! Nothing else 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

A little metal Egyptian cat statue that my dad bought me when I was 10.
it disappeared from my house back when I was on the dating scene before I met now DH, so I can only think that one of the dates I bought back to the house stole it.

Some edging stones from our path - which I assume are the original edwardian. I imagine the thieves got disturbed as I spotted a few of the pieces propped up against the garden wall as I arrived back from shopping. In fact they got away with just two - which is annoying as we have been unable to find matching replacements!

One of the finials from our front railings. Thick metal so they must have sawed through it. Some scumbag also stole a set of 4 planters with boxballs from our front steps. I was really annoyed as I'd spent hours painting the planters dark green.

The last time we were moving house we were dismantling DC’s trampoline when I realised the ladder was missing. It was a pretty high trampoline and really needed the ladder for DC to get on it.

Two doors down was a much lower trampoline with a suspiciously ill-fitting ladder on it. There were people in the garden at the time and we didn’t want to confront them so went on with our move.

Then one night a few weeks later DH and I were walking home from the pub down our old street and realised the ladder was still there so we ran into their garden and stole it back. Surprise, surprise, it was a perfect fit for our trampoline.

How did they possibly managed to nick the curtains from the GP surgery?😺
