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!

Towels !!!

These are a mix of hilarious and heartbreaking.

Our cleaner stole all kinds of odd things, including my Philips Lumea. I was gutted. I had got about half way through the process, and now have half a leg of hair remaining.🤣

The towing eye and cover from our classic Ford RS.
One of a pair of lovely solar lights by the back door, I found it smashed at the end of the street.
A denim jacket I loved, taken from a Mum and Toddler group on a RAF base; it was on the back of my chair and it just disappeared.

Ex stole loads of stupid stuff when we split up...
Big jar of peppercorns and random condiments.
3 bars of dove soap and my Hi-smile toothpaste, a loofah and a bath sheet.
2 of my sweatshirts then used them as an excuse to come round.
All of my daughters fishing gear and loads of guitar stuff from my son (strap, cables strings).
My favourite was my Indian takeaway leftovers from the fridge...who steals a half eaten curry and a soggy naan 😂

Rear window wiper on a ford panther.

Went clubbing in Birmingham once and stupidly left our coats in the floor well of the car. Window was smashed but the only thing they took was a can of red bull. Reported it to the police. They got in touch with a set of suspected stolen items a few weeks later. Surprisingly the can of red bull wasn't in there 😆

These trainers were a bit smelly, and not that new.
So I found it odd that someone would want them.
I just decided they must be quite desperate.

An ex partners friends GF once stole a pair of jeans from my house which I left on the banister, while I was asleep and she came upstairs to use our toilet. I knew she had because 1. I never sleep out so realised my jeans (fave pair) were missing almost instantly, nowhere to be seen …and 2. They had a hole in the back where I had pulled them up but because they fit so well I still used to wear them… I never suspected they had been stolen until a few weeks later when they both came over and she had the exact same jeans ,same stitching , same colour, same HOLE! Also I am a size 8 she was about a 12 , the jeans were stretchy so obviously she fit herself in them … but I was fuming 😂😂 nobody believed me , but I went on that much her that her BF brought the jeans over to “prove” they were hers and this is the craziest part SHE HAD TAKEN OUT THE SIZE 8 TAG AND WONKELY SEWN IN A SIZE 12 TAG?!? my partner at the time who didn’t believe me at first saw the crazy attempt at covering the tracks and said to me “OMG she did steal them” after I got out another pair of river island jeans and explained there is no way that the clothes size is that bodged with different thread etc 😱😳🤯 it’s only jeans but I’m super funny about who comes into my home because ppl are weird!!!!

Husband found a dead pigeon in our back garden, put it in a carrier bag and then placed it in the side alley to put in the bin on his way out. Came back into the garden to ask if I wanted anything from the shop and saw someone running off with the bag when he came back out. It was a new carrier bag from a sports shop so they probably thought it was their lucky day.

In the night , thieves smashed our car window , to steal blanket from the back seat that they used to break into a much posher car down the road !

DD’s uni halls had all the tap handles stolen one long weekend. They eventually found them via a tip off. Not sure if the person had planned on selling them at a scrap yard or what..

My knickers off the washing line.

Nothing racy, just boring M&S black cotton ones.

This was years ago when I was a studenalso could have done without the expense of buying new ones.

The left wing mirror off the car. We replaced it and the buggers came back and nicked the new one. Next time we replaced it with bog standard chrome rather than the matching body coloured one. It stayed. Dh eventually got round to replacing the right one with the matching chrome one but it took him a couplae of years!
Someone broke into my first car (a 15 year old mini van) rifled through my cassette tapes - didn't take anything but left (used) chewing gum on the steering wheel! As well as angry snd disgusted I remember being really offended that they didn't consider anything worth stealing 😂

The pole that holds your washing line up. Really handy and I haven't replaced it yet, I really miss it.
Neighbours had their car broken into and the thief stole obviously anything in it and possibly ate the kids birthday cake they left in or it was assumed they did. Thing is it had been there a while apparently.

My ex was abusive, kudos to
you!! 😂

My old walking boots from a student party. They were shut in a cupboard too.

Also my grandma. She had a standard lamp and a used bottle of perfume. They disappeared one day. She was so confused that she even looked in drawers for the lamp.

I still have a little smile to myself about the poor sod who stole my garmin.

just before a road trip to France my husband had hacked into it and replaced the driving commands with recordings of his own voice in a comedy French accent 😂

he was soooo pleased with himself when I switched on just before I drove off the ferry

When I was little my mum had two conifers in really heavy, distinctive pots either side of the front door. Came home and they’d been taken… by a neighbour up the road who’d just put them either side of his front door. I think my dad and brother went and got them back.

A pair of PVC trousers (it was the 90s and they were my favourite). I went away for a weekend and when I came back they were missing from my wardrobe. Nothing else was moved and I almost persuaded myself that I must have taken them with me and somehow lost them from my bag. Until I discovered them in a carrier bag in a kitchen cupboard, with the seams around the groin ripped apart. I had a male flatmate at the time and can only assume that he either tried to wear them (for reasons I have never wanted to think about!) or lent them to his GF who was bigger than me and they got damaged. I did ask him, but he maintained that he knew nothing about it.

A similar thing happened to my family. Our house was left empty for a few months whilst we lived elsewhere for dad's job. When we returned a very large, heavy and distinctive planter had been emptied on the patio (killing the plants that had been in it) and mysteriously reappeared outside the neighbour's door. When mum asked about it they said they thought we hadn't wanted it, and said they couldn't return it until Autumn as they didn't want to disturb their plants. Mum disagreed! This was a very 'naice' area and neighbours would have had to enter the back garden (surrounded by 6ft fencing) to even see it!

In the mid 80s, I was unemployed and living on the 14th floor in Cruddas Park, which they used to call Beirut. I had very little and came home one day to find my door smashed in, they'd take my few tins of food, my 15" black & white portable, my few books, along with a half used bar of soap and a half used toilet roll. They even stole my posters.

Bastards threw my towel and spare jeans off the balcony. It was literally everything I had,

Next time, they took my futon mattress, sleeping bag, pillows and blanket, my storage heaters, the stainless steel sink and the copper immersion heater. The caretaker was up there having kittens, trying to get rid of the water and block the spurting pipes off.

I had a party when my parents were away and the kitchen curtains were nicked and a lot of food from the fridge.

And we had washing taken from the washing line in our student house. They took mine and another girl's underwear. Left the guys' underpants and t-shirts.

Our garden path! We were living in Darlington in a street of big old Victorian terraced houses near QE Sixth Form College. Heard a slightly odd noise in the night and when we woke up, the York flagstones were gone and there was bare earth. The police officer said he had never heard of anything like it!

The battery operated tealights out of the pumpkins in our porch one Halloween.

Mine was new too and I had to cycle 2 miles home standing up with 4 large bags of shopping
