Stupidest thing you've had stolen

[mcanderson]

Discovered today that some one had stolen 1/2 of my 16 amp extension cord. Neatly snipped at deck level with my boat out of the water and in its cradle. Deck height is over 3 from ground level.

Tossers! A plague on their houses!!

Once had the house broken into, drawers emptied things thrown everywhere and the evil (pieces of turf) took a box of windfall apples off the front step which my parents had left for SWMBOs horse.

Humiliating that the best that could be stolen from us was windfall apples and whilst God may forgive them I doubt the horse ever will.

Those evil divots deserve to be hung (er.....hanged?)

Bung from the back of the dinghy, anoying as I had no spare and needed to use the dinghy.

Years ago we had a pair of rather funky trainers nicked from the outside bin cupboard. Poetic justice tho...they were left in there coz Chris had trodden in dog poo!!!

this happens to me all the time. I leave rubbish outside and then it just vanishes. Anyone would think it was organised.

Someone stole my house name sign a few months ago.

When we bought our first house it came complete with bug ridden furniture. We put it all out on a skip, from which it was all "stolen" over night.

It all returned to the skip over the next few days!

Our house was broken into in search of the keys to my lodger's motorbike on the drive. They took a set of keys with a keyfob matching the brand of the bike - unfortunately for them they were the spare keys to a bike he'd sold a month previously.

They didn't take anything else, although annoyingly they jemmied open the box in the living room containing my grandad's old sextant. Annoying because it wasn't locked, they just couldn't work the catch.

The most rusty decrypted avon bracket which was with a toolbox and several quality powers left by the car whilst I went the 50yrds and down the steps to the dinghy to get the last of the stuff.

Some scrote 'liberated' my starboard bow light. Just left me with two wires hanging out of the pulpit.

Actually wasn't too upset. A few weeks earlier I'd knocked the port light off on the lock wall at Chi Marine, so I had one shiny new port light and one scruffy green one. Post-scrote, at least the lights looked like a matched pair.

4 alloy wheels, two from one set and two from another. That was useful... NOT.

Guessing it was weighed in... Scum.

4 alloy wheels, two from one set and two from another.

Years ago a car with alloy wheels was parked in the road outside the office block where I worked. It was badly parked on a corner and it looked stolen or abandoned.

An hour later there were three or four young guys jacking it up. I wandered out of the office and said something like "Everything OK lads?"

Whilst three continued working, one of them replied "Yeah mate, no problems, just sorting out a few problems with the motor".

I said "OK, I was a bit concerned that the car had been abandoned so I just called the police from the office."

The guy just looked at his watch, cool as a cucumber, and said "Jeez, is that the time. We're going to be late guys" and with that they all walked off round the corner. I assume they had another car parked out of sight!

I went back to the office and called the police and mentioned that if they did not get to it before nightfall the car would be on bricks by next morning!

Used cat litter

I used to live on a 4th floor apartment, one evening my wife cleaned out the cat litter tray and put the bin bag outside the door to take down in the morning. About 2 in the morning a bunch of kids got into the building, while 1 set of a fire alarm, his mate nicked a bag of used cat litter.
