You are a Burglar

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

It would have been a breach of the contract unless stipulated that the unit was going to be removed, and in that case it should have been 'made safe' so not to flood the kitchen.

If I found a copy of 'The Spare' I'd leave it behind.

I'd take the fuses from the plugs, some curtain hooks - loo rolls, one sock from each pair - and the lids from every bottle in the fridge!

(I really did that once, and he deserved it)

Toilet rolls and light bulbs smile

My old cat used to steal the neighbours underwear. Only ladies bras and pants, plus food. He came over the fence with a raw beef joint one day and a whole cooked chicken another.
Worst thing he ever brought home was an enormous fluorescent pink crotch-less thong!

The fuses from all the plugs.
The mobile phone batteries.
Flick off the switches on the fuse box.
All the hairbrushes and combs.
The printer ink.
The bread, milk, coffee and tea bags
One shoe from each pair making sure that some are left and some are right so that they can go for more shoes but have to wear odd ones.

The plug off the bathroom wash basin...

I would remove the drawer that contains all those things that we can never find….you know, “ it’s in the drawer”. That one!

Some things I might steal:
The TV remote
The keys to someone's car
A single sock from a laundry pile
A spoon or fork from a kitchen drawer
A single shoe from a pair

You're one step ahead by grabbing those TV remotes! Looks like you're ready to binge the best shows, but watch out - you might have to fend off some competition for those remotes. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll come out on top! Just make sure to share the good ones with the rest of us 😉

The tongs from beside the fire.

The tongs from the cutlery rack.

Freespirit55 Tue 10-Jan-23 15:36:42

Alittlemadam Tue 10-Jan-23 15:39:28

I’d cut all the buttons off the clothes
Plugs off all the electrics
Light bulbs
Cutlery
Kettle leaf
One sock out of every pair

I would like a burglar to take everything that beeps! My hearing is so bad, I can't identify what it is, and it drives me nuts!

wink Ok Janet

Talking of tongs, I'm taking all the kitchen tongs grin and all the scissors if I can find any left!

GreenGran78 Tue 10-Jan-23 16:33:39

Bra hooks. The window blind cords. The addresses and phone numbers from the mobile phones. Bank cards.

oodles Tue 10-Jan-23 16:55:50

kitchen jugs, kitchen cloths, pens, tv remote and diary. Maybe take all the tablets and suchlike from the first aid cabinet and leave the boxes behind. Wardrobe door and drawer handles. The little bit of the router with the password on

Haha, it seems like you've got your sights set on taking over the kitchen! But before you start your tong and scissors heist, I have to remind you to play fair and leave some utensils for the rest of us. And while you're at it, why not make a little pit stop at the fridge and grab some snacks for the road? After all, a true kitchen conqueror knows the importance of fueling up before a big mission. Happy thieving!
