That sucks. How did they get in? Can you get a more secure lock, or isn’t that allowed? Bastards. ---

Some people will steal damn near anything. I left my toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom one day and someone stole those. ---

You guys should check out my new CD player. It probably only cost like 60 bucks, but it’s totally sweet, and I got it from some kid’s locker. In all seriousness, one time this bag o’ douche stole my walkman in HS (it was 1994, and reasonably priced CD players were the size of a laptop computer) because I made a snide remark about him during lunch. It sucks, but it’s just one of those things. I mean, you can report it to the principal or what-have-you, but they can only do so much. Then in college, someone stole my Mach3 razor. Scumbag. I mean, that’s kinda gross if you ask me, but whatever. ---

Someone once stole an old dirty pair of my shoes off my front door step! At first I was pissed, then I just thought fuck it. It saved me cleaning then. Still no idea why someone else would have wanted them ---

Once, someone stole everything in my house EXCEPT my toothbrush, which I was thankful for… but then I got some pictures about two weeks later and man was I upset. ---

I used to live in a bad appartment complex. One day I went out and found one of my tires slashed. Went and bought a new tire, slapped it on and went back inside. Came back out 30 minutes later… The new tire had been stolen. Makes me wonder if it was all a set-up to begin with. ---

My smelly old ballet shoes were taken out of my bag after a class. Gross! I would understand if they were new, but they were extremely used, all the holes were taped up, and they were starting to get moldy. Blech! I was pissed that I had to buy another pair that same day because I needed to use them later on that night, and didn’t have time to break them in properly. ---

The one night that we’ve ever, ever left a car parked outside of our garage, and certainly the only night in the history of car-ownership that we’ve left it unlocked, someone broke into my husband’s car, stole the garage opener, opened the garage and broke into my car. Tally of items stolen: - Pat’s leather jacket - My leather jacket - Pat’s change-- they took the quarters and nickels, but left the dimes. Explain that. - Pat’s bike - My super-cool flashlight - Pat’s suit jacket - One CD - The bicycle pump Fuckers. Fuckers, fuckers, fuckers. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Desmostylus \* > \*\*Your mom stole your toothbrush? \*\* Nah, I’m pretty sure it was _your_ mom. She snores. 😉 Actually this was back a few years when I lived in a rooming house with a shared bathroom. I couln’t believe someone would steal a toothbrush, but there you have it. ---
