Oh. My toaster has gone missing.

[CauldronsTrulyReign]

There's just a big gap on the work surface well, besides some crumbs.

What the actual croissant?

I am a victim too you know. I have to get up and walk across the room myself to turn the telly on and off and adjust the volume

Poor Katie

No wonder you post here for support

So Wills, human or robot?

There's only one answer. Only a man and his dog made out of plasticine could solve a problem like this. Does Gromit have an MN profile?

Have you looked in the cupboard under the sink? Whenever an appliance goes missing from my worktop - it is always in the cupboard under the sink.

And check your outside bin, in case someone broke the toaster and is lying to you.

And, if that fails - pay the ransom.

Is it still missing? How very odd.

Nothing to add; just marking place. Am fascinated. and should be working but this is so much more fun

Ok just a couple of ideas, any sleepwalkers in your house? And, ahem, have you checked the fridge? I found some mail in our fridge yesterday that only I could have put there, unfortunately DH was walking past at the exact moment I opened the door and has been ridiculing me ever since .... well I have told him the dcs are driving me nuts

So is Prince Philip also Lord Voldemort? (cape swirling antics make me suspicious)

[proud of self for figuring out the identity of the appliance thief. I SO should have been in the Scooby Gang]

Perhaps he went to the great Toaster Home in the sky. But be not sad, for he is with friends.

have you checked all electrical repair shops? maybe he's in a toaster coma?

If Prince Philip's Lord Voldemort someone should tell the Queen... Unless she already knows. Congratulations CaveMum (equally proud of self for working out map reference)

Has it morphed into a shirt then travelled across time? If so, it appeared in my house a couple of weeks ago ...

Yy the OS reference working out was v impressive. I vaguely remembering doing it at school and in the Guides but I would not have had a clue how to work it out now.

Are you sure it's missing and not just invisible? We really can't have appliances going invisible - what if the washing machine did it with clothes inside? Maybe you should contact Watchdog to ask that manufacturers redesign to make sure appliances just can't go invisible/missing. By the way if they go invisible they are not fit for purpose and you could ask for a refund or replacement.

Be patient, it might pop up somewhere.

[pats Empress on the back for working out the map reference]

Couldn't have done it without ya kid

Fiderer Excellent pic.

What the hell? Where the frick is your toaster?

Nothing from Cauldrons since yesterday. Is anyone else getting worried?

Did IHaveYourToaster kidnap Cauldrons too? Or perhaps it's a new kidnapper, working in tandem with the toaster rustler and will show up with the NN IHaveYourCauldron...

Quick useful summary: the toasternapper is Prince Philip. As far as we can make out he's a robot trying to round up small domestic appliances to assist in his revolution. He wanted Cauldrons to go to Balmoral with his ransom.

I'm worried that she did...

what if he turns her into a robot?

Sephrenia, that's an even scarier thought.

'It might pop up somewhere'

Well done Dan.

Get it ?? - Well done , Pop up

Like as in toast ??

No ?

Oh please yourself.

Did anyone else see 'Sleeping with the Enemy' where psycho DH let Julia Roberts know he had tracked her down by breaking into her new single pad and straightening all the towels pefectly on her bathroom rail.

Cauldrons is your DP a - how can we say - tidy man ?
