But you only steal things that slightly inconvenience people.

What are you taking?

I'd take:

The glass plate in the microwave

The knob off the oven.

The bathroom light bulb

Emery board and nail scissors

The soap

All the pens

I think most of you have obviously been to stay in my holiday cottage over the years. If you haven't taken the item with you, you've left it somewhere very obscure!! grin

The person who sold us this house had a grievance and removed useful metal fittings. The waste disposal trap under the sink so that I turned the tap on and flooded the kitchen and the letterbox were the ones that I remember most clearly.

I had a rental property and someone did this: egg poacher cups from the poaching pan, grill from the grill pan, glass plate from the microwave, glass dish from the soap dish in the shower room along with the loo brush container, remote control, a couple of pan lid knobs, kept their deposit until all items were returned.

I would just swap all the kitchen drawers around

In my son's neighbourhood there was a cat who was a burglar. The owner had a notice on their gate to apply here if you are missing anything as our cat is a master burglar. They had a collection of bras, knickers, socks and other items that the cat took a fancy to.

And then remove the drawer knobs

Mishy- how odd-Was it a holiday rental? they could have been taking stuff they needed at home maybe? I'd have just kept deposit to replace them allπŸ˜†

Nannan2 Tue 10-Jan-23 12:45:46

Sawsage2- yes sadly i thought so too.😞

Nannan2 Tue 10-Jan-23 12:52:52

Matelda- Waste disposal units can be quite expensive so probably not such a daft idea- probably re-fitted it in his new home- Not as sure about letterbox you get them quite cheaply.😁
