Today I went for a run. I decided to take my rather cute water bottle with me so I wouldn't die during my workout. I set the bottle down by the entrance to the trail, not totally obvious but definitely not hidden. My run was 27 minutes and when I got back the bottle was gone.
I got it from a store called Homesense, it's a home decor store. Just a lot of random stuff that's not really a part of the Homesense brand so really everything you find is only there because there's a slight defect or its discontinued and the brand doesn't want it anymore, so homesense sells it for a discount. What I'm trying to say is that that specific water bottle would be very hard to find again, given how I found it. I had also taken a pre workout pill so I was feeling very... Intense. I'm still thinking about putting a sign up to ask for the person to return the bottle but I don't think I even want it anymore. Who steals something with another person's body fluids on it during a pandemic? The houses in my neighbourhood ALLEGEDLY go for around $1 Mil and it's the trashiest neighbourhood ever. Creepy neighbour took in some tenants and they've already trashed the backyard. Not that I can talk, my roommate treats our backyard like an ash tray. Ah

There was a guy my dad used to work with that would always steal people's lunches. One day someone got fed up with it and brought some watermelon that he had injected with his own urine. Sure enough, dude stole it. When he found out the truth he ran to the restroom, puking. 😀

my boss just told me a story about a previous job he had. apparently, someone used to bring in some sort of food to keep at work as a snack. they labeled it with their name and a message not to steal it. yet somebody kept stealing it. so this person put a mouse trap in with their food. then one day, the thief went to my boss to complain that this person had put a mouse trap in their food and it snapped on his hand. needless to say, the thief did not receive any compensation for his injury.
but seriously, a water bottle? next time put a used condom there and see if that disappears too.

Could it be that someone thought they were clearing up litter? Not clever.. But trying to imagine the best reason this may have happened

Could it be that someone thought they were clearing up litter? Not clever.. But trying to imagine the best reason this may have happened When I was in the Navy my ship was in the yards at Pearl and we were all tasked with rebuilding it. I was an ET, so naturally they had me welding and fabricating. One problem we had was that we lacked a scrap pile to work from. This meant if you had to make a 3 inch shelf bracket to fit an angled bulkhead, you had to start with a 12X12 inch square and then sent the rest to the scrap pile. We were making scrap needlessly. So me and the duty chief grabbed a bunch of deck sailors and a stake truck and went across the base to a pile of scrap where another ship had left drydock. We were loading it onto the truck when a jeep full of base cops arrived. They surrounded us and started cussing about us dumping scrap. They "made" us pick up each and every piece of steel and carry it back to the ship. The chief was pulling the greatest "I'm so sorry" act I have ever seen. The rest of us tried our best to control our laughter.

Stealing stuff is lame.
