The most ridiculous/annoying thing you've had stolen

[Insidelaurashead]

We were burgled a couple of months ago, whilst we were petsitting for a friend and our house was empty. They stole the usual (partners PS5, jewellery, a tin of coins we had on the kitchen windowsill, my camera) but also a pillowcase from my favourite, no longer made set, clearly to carry their loot in. Anyway today I've gone looking for a denim bag I have, that I've been sewing flag patches on for each country I've visited, as I wanted to add more to it. It's absolutely not in this house, I've looked everywhere, so they've stolen a cheap bag, with about £75 (25 or so patches at £3 each) flags, in order of when I personally visited those countries-that will be no use to anyone else.

I am cross, not least because spending another £75+ to replace this seems wasteful, but I really did love that bag.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've had stolen?

A really nice moisturiser that had the most wonderful smell - nicked from my bathroom by a friend's friend. Couldn't ever find that product again. This was 25 years ago but it still rankles a bit.

A microwave turntable.
The police told me.. drug takers use them to snort their coke off.
🤷‍♀️ ( Took my Cds / telly/ dvd player/ medication and my knife block too.

My friend on a night out, after a visit to the chippy, had her kebab stolen out of her hands by someone running past! 😂

A bottle of Ribena! Was really looking forward to it and was really thirsty !

My mother had stopped by my house with a container of homemade soup. She knew I would be home from work soon so she left the container in a bag by the door on my porch. I guess she wondered why I didn't call later to thank her. The next time I saw her she mentioned the soup. There was nothing there when I got home from work.

In hospital to have my dc many years ago.. I'd taken in some nice yogurts and put in the fridge with name label on ( as we were told). Next day went to get one of them only to find my name on some Tesco basic yogurt..I even saw.the woman eating mine...

We got broken into at uni..isual stuff got nicked but they left my old black and white tv 😃

Someone pinched my weights from a local park. I'd put them down for a bit while playing with DC (I tend to exercise while she plays). I was so angry. They cost money to replace, and who would take another person's probably-slightly-sweaty dumbells?

My recycling boxes and cardboard bag that are FREE from the council!!! I now have new ones with our home address spray painted on all sides of each item. Some people are just so damn lazy they can't be bothered to get their own.

My old, beat-up shoes at the swimming pool. I wasn’t going to miss them… except I had no shoes to take me home!

The swimming pool manager had to lend me a pair of trainers, size 9 (I’m a size 6). I felt like a clown shuffling down the street.

My bicycle seat. I had to cycle home standing up with 6 carrier bags on the handlebars.

I was mugged on Valentine's Night. I had a lovely handbag that I'd bought in Plaka, Athens. The mugger pulled with all his strength on the strap, I pulled the other. He wasn't winning, so he said, 'You want me to cut you?'. I let go. My male companion, 6'2", stayed lying on the pavement the whole time.

Numerous plants from my front step. It happened at least 3 times, so I no longer put any plants out the front 😕

My favourite hairbrush. Taken by a pickpocket!

The burglars took my cheap childhood jewellery but left two diamond rings ..

My gloves, out of my Tesco trolley, last Christmas. They were black leather, with a shocking pink lining, and were my Favourites.

We accidentally left our car unlocked overnight, and we noticed a couple of days later that our pound coins used for trolleys had been nicked by an opportunist thief! A minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.

They had left my CDs, so I’m guessing they didn’t like my taste in music 😁.

My parents house was broken into when I was about 15. They took the TV/ stereo etc. from the living room, and for some reason a pair of my old battered trainers from the kitchen. They were 'Adidas 4 stripe' kind of thing and covered in mud. I only wore them when me and my friend took her dog out for a walk. Didn't even move my brother's clean Reeboks that were next to them on the shoe rack 😂

A 6ft long by 6 inch wide strip of lead flashing that was along the edge of a flat roofed porch, that was on the first floor. To this day I don't know how they even got up there to take it, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't worth the effort.

There’s a song about this:

A deep fat fryer complete with mucky oil...

Had a car broken into and all they took was fully used disposable cameras 🙄

I think my supposedly respectable FIL helped himself to my weighted sellotape dispenser. Actually annoyed about that one as I've not found another as good and who the hell steals off their kids?!

A small Harrods plastic bag containing... my elderly cat's poo sample. I'd hung it on the back of a chair in a pub in London (its destination at the vets was on the way home) & someone swiped it. Would have paid to see their face when they opened it up.

I had some crappy seagrass flip flops that were from somewhere cheap cheerful, Asda or primark. They cost £3 brand new, took them to Las Vegas on their last legs, they were almost walked through to nothing!

They were stolen from the pool area of our not exactly budget hotel.. I am convinced maybe for sexual/fetish reasons rather than anyone wanting to wear them 😂😂

My football socks! I know who stole them and they know I know. When I reported it I was told I had no proof and the person who stole them laughed in my face. 😢😢
