You're a burglar, BUT...

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

Instead of stealing things, you do things to mildly inconvenience your victims.
What do you do?

I'd rearrange all the kitchen cupboards.

Cover the whole house with Christmas wrapping paper including the walls, ceiling, TVs, furniture and any pets - leave breathe holes for them obviously

Put their peanut butter or honey in the fridge, switch the boiler off at the boiler...

Swap one shoe in every pair for one of a different size.

Hide the corkscrew, tin opener, bottom opener etc.

Change the times on their clicks, including central heating, oven etc by a random amount of time.

Hide random alarms in inaccessible places.

Fake mouse droppings in kitchen cupboards

Random appointments on calenders.

Change all the house numbers on a street.

Move the car to another nearby parking space.

Change the time on their clocks and timers and set radios and TVs to come on randomly.

I’d put loads of stuff on their beds so when they want to go to bed they’ve got to move it all

Put a hole in the bottom of cat litter bag

Pierce holes in their bin liners so they get bin juice leaking

Turn off the light in the fridge

Swap their sink/bath plugs with ever so slightly smaller ones

Blunt their kitchen knives

Sand down one leg of a chair to make it wobbly

Remove the last two pages of all books

Why are you asking?

If the burglar came to my house they would slant all the pictures on the wall.

If they went to my brothers they would turn all the cans of food in his cupboard around so that the labels didn’t all face front. If they even looked at his guitars he would know...

Put a ladder in every pair of tights then put them back. Or take all their black tights and replace them with dark navy (the type you don't notice in the house but do when you step out the car at work into the sunlight)

Have you been to mine then?

Leave a mysterious damp patch on one corner of the carpet. Return every couple of weeks to make it damp again.

Semi peel the stickers off things ensuring maximum sticky residue is left behind on mugs, plates etc

Put the toilet paper the wrong way around.

Add water to the soap dish so the soap gets soft and mushy.

Wet the towels.

Steal
On shoes from every pair, turn all jacket abs coats sleeves inside out, remove fuses from plugs as no on checks fuses anymore. Remove one curtain from each pair (make sure the curtain left is too small to cover the window.

Was it in Shooting Fish where the lads deliberately stopped somebody's video whilst it was recording Blind Date, the householders' favourite programme?!

I seem to recall reading about a man who actually did break in to people's houses making as little mess as possible and then proceeded to do all of their cleaning, ironing, washing and hoovering before quietly letting himself out again. He never actually stole anything at all. Bizarre!

Aroundtheworldin80moves what is a "bottom opener"?? I really hope that's a typo

Why are you asking OP? I don't want to be an accessory to some sort of revenge act. Since you asked though I would sprinkle grass seeds around the carpet.

Op said Mildly Inconvenience, not wreck lives, you evil lot.
I’d steal all their pants and socks so they have to wear yesterday’s.

Leave random pieces of underwear that I have stolen from other houses. Likewise, steal some of theirs to leave elsewhere.

@Aroundtheworldin80moves What is a bottom opener?

@SnugglySnerd it's just something I saw on Facebook and thought it would be fun to ask here, I know how dastardly MNers can be and I wasn't disappointed

I would also slightly loosen the tops on bottles of ketchup etc as a little surprise for when they shake them before putting them on their chips.

Maybe change the presets on the radio. Someone would need to show me how to do that first though.

Take the contents out of their Christmas crackers and replace the joke with a small note "you ain't won nothing so fuck off".
Also change all the clocks, but only by about 10 minutes so it's not obvious.

Nick a charging cable, not the plug just the USB cable

Cut the plugs off every electrical appliance.

Paint all the lightbulbs black so it gets darker when they turn the light on.

Apple pie the beds
squeeze toothpaste in the middle
leave piles of towels everywhere so don't know whats clean and dirty
remove half the socks - one of each pair
hide any keys you can find
change the heating settings for the timer
Reset any alarm clocks
move things around in the fridge and freezer
reorganise the tv programme settings so different channels different no's
swap cutlery drawer around
put random mugs in the cupboards
install a catflap

Strip their beds.

Put their biggest duvet cover in the washing machine with their pillow cases without doing up the buttons on it first.

Pour their liquid hand soap down the sink until only about .5cm remains.

Put a key in the inside of their front door lock.
