We had a whole pile of bricks stolen. My husband had salvaged them when the city was in the process of replacing old brick sidewalks with concrete, and he stacked them on a lot we owned and where we were planning to build. But one day when he went to the lot all the bricks had vanished mysteriously. Apparently that happens on building sites all the time, to the point where it gets factored into the cost of building.
My neighbor’s windshield wiper was stolen and replaced with a stick.
Simple rule in life, don't ask "Whose is it?" ask "Is it mine?" and if the answer is "No" then don't take it.
