Pointless, stupid, pathetic theft

[Lace Neil Singer]

I am still trying to understand just why this happened. Last week, someone stole a flipping BIN LINER from one of the outside bins. The bins are emptied every other day, in the evening. Between the time we shut that evening that we did the bins, and opening time the next day, a very strange person walked to one of the bins, took the lid off, removed the bin liner and walked away. I mean, wtf? Has to rate as one of the weirdest thefts ever.

I had half a bag of potting soil stolen off my porch once. I don't know how desperate you have to be to steal dirt, but someone was.

Maybe someone was anticipating a looooonng night of drinking and needed an extra-large barf bag?

I do pet adoptions at PetCo. Someone stole the toilet brush from the restroom. The manager chained the new one to the toilet. Someone cut the chain and stole that one.

Some people are just nuts.

And/Or didn't want to stumble all the way home stark nekkid...

My housemate's grandfather used to get the milk stolen from his front doorstep when he used to get a milkman service. They even broke the lock of the keepsie box he set out for it.

On the bright side, at least nobody tossed some garbage (especially if it were messy garbage) in that bin after the liner was stolen - something a "tosser" would do. Sort of like one scene in the TV series "Tour of Duty", where someone had latrine duty (pull out the metal bin under a stall, burn off the (literal) crap, then put the bin back) - and someone used the stall while he was burning the contents of the bin.
