Whats the oddest thing someone has stolen from you?

[comedycentral]

Reading this story about a door handle stolen from a cafe made me wonder what the oddest thing someone has stolen from you? I once had some of my homemade CDs stolen from me on a train. Why would you steal someone’s really obvious crappy homemade megamix with their felt-tip handwriting scrawl all over it? I hope it skipped for them on the good songs!

My Gran had the gravel stolen off of her driveway. Neighbours saw it happen, they literally scooped it up into bags. They thought it was odd but apparently assumed it was being done with her say so. They also took the ornamental white stones around her front flower border and a hanging basket.

Back in the 90's after just giving birth, went and had a shower and took a brand new bar of Pears soap in there with me. Got back to my hospital bed, realised I'd forgotten the soap. Went straight back to the bathroom and it had gone.

Vile and abusive ex stole my new ( still with tags on ) underwear when I kicked him out 😆

It was so confusing. Just a square clear lunch box. Empty. With a few crumbs inside. It did make me laugh 😂

I think about it quite often, wondering what it’s up to. Imagining it storing some weed, or maybe some custard creams - somewhere In East London. Or maybe South. Maybe with a balcony view.

😆

I knew somebody who ran a church book/resource stall and they found an empty VHS video case (yep, it was quite a long time ago!) where somebody had clearly swiped the video itself from inside. The title was "Encountering Jesus". I'm not too sure they'd quite understood the basic Bible principle of not stealing!

Sad, really, as they were a lovely couple who ran the stall - if somebody had been eager to learn more about the faith, but penniless, and had asked, they would more than likely have given it to them anyway.

The bog brushes will be all of the MNers who desperately need one to deal with the skids that their 'LTB'-type 'D'Hs regularly leave - but they simply can't face the shame of potentially being seen in an actual shop by somebody who knows them with one in their trolley!

A dozen or so Wonder bra's all hanging out on the line after being lovingly hand washed.
Still seething 35 years later, the bright purple one was discontinued shortly afterwards 😡

Wonderbra

At work (hospital) many years ago:
-someone went into my bag, and stole my Alcatel mobile phone (the phone that took AAA batteries to power it!) and my filofax (it was a Far Side themed one). They didn't take my passport or wallet (which had about £40 of cash in it).
-someone stole my wallet (a different time).
-people used to sneak into the ward kitchen and steal bread, milk, butter, condiments etc. I caught a visitor doing that once, and went mad at them!

When I was little, one of my friends nicked one some of my Barbie accessories. I nicked them back when I went to her house (and found them there).

🤮

🤮

Parcel shelves are harder to buy replacements for than they have any right to be. This may be why.

My DS (then aged nearly 5) ham sandwich from his rucksack that he left on the bus
Realised just after we got off bus that we had left rucksack on it so rang terminus and they said they would look for it as soon as bus arrived there...I didn't hold out much hope but later received a call to say they had rucksack - went to retrieve it - everything still inside - jumper, soft toy, sweets but ham sandwich missing - DS cried

The oddest thing I've ever lost to a thief is also a wheelie bin.

Right.

All we need to do is to recover all the stolen car parts and we'll be able to build a whole new car.

It's going to be a proper Heinz 57 though.

I don't know why this made me laugh so much 😂

Of course! 🤣

I had a parcel shelf stolen too then I realised how costly and tricky they were to replace.

Footwear!

I had my trainers nicked at a softplay. They were just average trainers. At end of the party, I checked with the reception, checked under tables etc. There was a similar pair to mine, but 2-3 sizes bigger and pretty worn which no one claimed (and I had to then wear), so a bit odd.

Also dozed off on a beach and flip flops had been taken off my feet! 😳Pavement was bloody scorching.

PS I do not have especially nice feet either!

Someone stole the outboard motor off my dad’s little dinghy. They used it in front of him so he went and stole it back.

I was in Egypt with some friends and came up to our room to find a man with his hand in the door handle. He made his excuses and left. My friend was in the shower and had thankfully taken her valuables into the bathroom and locked the door. It took a minute for me to realise he’d been in and nicked a sarong my mother had given me. It was just a pretty cotton sarong, not worth anything, but I guess it made a nice gift for whoever he took it for.

The pumpkin that we had carved (not very well) for Halloween. It was only a cheap small one from Tesco and the carving was really not very good!

Ah, ok, thankyou for explaining,

I've never watched a single episode of Only Fools and Horses!
