I think my neighbours have stolen my towel

Things have been going missing from our washing line for a while. I think. There are gaps on the washing line sometimes when I go to bring my washing in but I can never remember what I've hung up so I just assume that I've just left a gap by accident.

DP has just gone to bring in our washing which consisted of a whole load of baby clothes and one towel. That's all. It was DP's favourite towel, a great big brown affair (sad, I know). It was definitely hung up but has now mysteriously disappeared from the line.

The line is shared by 4 flats (us included). I'm pretty sure it was one of our neighbours as it's an enclosed garden with no access from outside and a security door, but how the hell do I go about getting it back?!

Missing posters sounds like a good idea Grin thing is, the only photo I have of it is of DP flashing. Think that'll matter?

Well I've not gone out to check but DP says it's definitely not there.

I hope you manage to get it back before it gets broken up into flannels Sad

Do you have a photograph of the towel? If you do, you could post up 'Missing' posters on every telegraph pole and tree in the neighbourhood.

Are you sure it hasn't blown off in the wind?
