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!

Why on Earth would you post that to someone already upset?!

my tooth. To give to the tooth fairy. Yes we were 6 - but it had come out in school and so had been wrapped in some of those green paper towels. I know which kid took it. Surely her mum didn’t pay up as she wouldn’t have had a gap!

In the 80s a flatmate of mine had a 2CV. The construction of these cars was deliberately very basic, I think to enable any practically minded rural Frenchman to do his own repairs.

My flatmate came out one morning to find someone had slipped the maroon bonnet off its hinges. And replaced it with a rather more battered yellow one.

For years we were all keeping an eye out for a yellow 2CV with a maroon bonnet.

Years ago I was asleep on a long distance bus and someone stole my trainers off my feet and replaced them with a really manky old pair that were massive. I don’t really know how they did it without waking me up.

That is awful, sorry.What a bloody cheek!!!

Someone stole the battery from my 2CV which was parked on my driveway. I never heard a thing.

When I was little we lived overseas and were burgled. The burglar got away with a lot of money. Monopoly money 😂

I had the 'badge' from the front of my car stolen, the little Peugeot lion logo. It was parked in a field at Reading festival, 2007.

Same! But they broke the little side window to take it. Only thing stolen.

I also had the VW badge stolen off my car at the height of the Beastie Boys craze. I reported it to the police. A couple of weeks later they called me in to view a whole table spread with dozens of badges they'd recovered in a 'raid'! I picked one the right size and went home to click it back into my car. I very much doubt the police would bother with that these days.

We had a group stay at our house over night whilst they completed a local charity walk. There were 5 of them, all with professional jobs etc. Well one of our plates went missing and never materialised ever again. There was no reason to take a plate, and if they broke one I would have expected them to mention it. Just really weird and always wondered where that plate went 🤔 🤣

Over 20 years ago, in Sainsbury’s with DM doing our Xmas shop, bumped into a colleague of hers a couple of times. Then bumped into him again - and his trolley of shopping had been stolen, but before he had paid for it. I guess someone just couldn’t be bothered going round the shop themselves. Nowadays you could just get a delivery.

My mum’s garden fence - 14 x 6ft high brand new panels, just leaving the posts behind.

I had my car stereo pinched (car was parked on our frontage not on the road) whilst I was taking my grocery shopping in the house! (I’d only been in the house a couple of minutes) BUT they took my home made Def Leppard tape out (yes, it was a cassette player) and left it on the passenger seat. I was most offended!

OMG that is so horrible - someone’s manky old shoes!

I’m so sorry but I can’t stop laughing!

@Callipygion it is quite funny looking back on it.

I was burgled once and came home to find all the drawers open downstairs and the back door jemmied. All that was missing was some cat food and a lump of cheese from the fridge. I was young and skint and had no valuables - but suspect it was maybe a hungry homeless person with a dog?

Similarly - when I was a child our next door neighbours were rich and fancy and were broken into one night and had some very expensive electronic equipment stolen. The robbers had broken into our shed first to steal the tools to do it! (Obviously had cased our houses previously and knew we had nothing worth taking....😂)

Not me but my daughter went to go into her car one morning and discovered it was only a shell. Someone had stolen the engine the steering wheel the seats and other bits and bobs. The police said this was the third time this happened in her area. She was not happy with me as I couldn’t stop laughing when she told me, I know it was a shock for her but I kept imagining her face when she discovered it

This has the winning ticket for me

not me but my mum’s knickers a few times off the washing line:/

I was pickpocketed in Bucharest. The thief took a little man made of blu-tac that was in a pocket on the outside of my bag.

Foot cream.

I had the light bulb stolen from my front porch light, not once, but FIVE TIMES!

I believe someone once told me they'd had a double bass stolen! They'd taken it downstairs in the lift, left it by the lift doors while they went back up to get something else, and when they came back down it wasn't there! Really would not expect that.
