Tea leafs ?
I have a suspicion someone has nicked the noughties, the teens and part of the 90s off you.
Nightmare!

Had my car broken into a decade or so ago - two stolen items: a cheap Sports Direct football and a packet of Blutac. However, said thief dropped a two pound coin and left behind an ice scraper - I reckon I was up on the night.

The most curious thing..
Most of the contents of a flat in Wigan, including a double bed. Nobody saw anything........
Someone tried to nick the tyre valve covers off my Kawasaki ZXR400 in Carnells carpark Milton Keynes in about 1999. My 6ft 3 shaved headed and built like a tank husband went up and asked what they were doing. They shit themselves, said sorry and put them back. They didn’t realise he is a big cuddly softie

The remote theft happened in 1994/95.

A generator off the front of a van in West Malling . Stopped one lunchtime for a quick snooze one glorious summers lunchtime in the front of the van . Woke up 4 hours later to find the padlocked genny gone . Obviously some sort of sleeping substance was used on me to sleep 4 hours and not hear a thing .

Worked in that game for 10 years . Manhole covers were always being nicked ,good scrap value
A former colleague had his large home in Southwick burgled when they were away on holiday. Even stole the curtains.
Neighbours saw a truck there all day, just assumed it was legit.

Staring at the rude boys
Not me, a colleague.
He bought fish and chips for his lunch, scoffed it in his van but had the sudden, overwhelming urge to void his bowels. All he had was the empty chip wrapper so he did the business, wrapped it up and put it in the little paper bag it came in.
He got out of the van to go look for a bin, but was waylaid by a member of the public asking him to go look at his drop-wire. He put the bag on the bonnet and went with the feller.
When he came back, the bag was gone.

Funny you mention waste.The funniest one was "waste", but I got it back.
I moved into my last place and there was
a large rubbish collection to be taken as well as a few old PCs and monitors that I took the opportunity to get rid off.
Always do the right thing and get a registered collector, never cheap. Leaves you with paperwork etc....
So the van turns up and he starts piling everything into the back. I go outside and start helping.
Annoyingly he starts telling me what he won't and will take which was a bit odd since we'd already agreed what the waste was.
So we've finished and I'm now pissed off I've got to find somewhere to get rid of the rest.
At which point the real waste collector turns up
We made him unload it all into new van with the threat of ringing the police. Easiest job the real collector ever had.
most of us pay for fresh water, and a lot more for the grey end to be dealt with. it appears to be a profitable business for some.
imagine my surprise to get some of it back, for free, whilst merely swimming in the sea!
My +3 poundland reading glasses nicked last week by a fecking pickpocket at Retiro Bus Station in Buenos Aires. I felt a small pressure on my bag only to look round and see some bint staring ahead.
Little did she know that she was a few short seconds away from the full shebang, passports, cash and credit cards which I needed to buy bus tickets

I don't like "nickism's".

tfso!
parked in a rough estate in my rough Talbot Horizon in the 90's. Came back from work to find the window smashed and theyd taken a bin bag of dirty washing . Yes, it was Croydon, when I worked at Delta Point BT building.
also, when I was a pub manger you'd be surprised by the amount of salt and pepper pots that were nicked.
