Yeah! Far more appropriate to find his car and leave something "organic" in it!
Had my car nicked once. Police found it a few days later. The thieves had gone though the 20-odd CDs I had in the glove box, and cherry picked about half of them. Was actually quite funny to have my musical tastes assessed like that.
Most surprising was a Laser sailing dinghy from the sailing club at Queen Mary reservoir, just west of London. It was up on a cradle, and removing it must have involved coming prepared with a car trailer and all. Genuine WTF moment when I realised it had gone.

I went to Antigua for the cricket World Cup in 2007. Second day our villa got ransacked. Others lost their phones and some money.
From me they took a shoulder bag full of sweets and junk food my now wife had packed for me to take away and my England cricket shirt with berty 23 on the back.

A prescription dive mask. Utterly useless to almost anyone due to the strength of the prescription. A half used tub of e45 cream also though did catch the culprit for this who declared it had fallen into her bag
In the 90's I left a brand new Mini Cooper outside my house overnight. The following morning the back wheels had been nicked.
There was a true story in the news a few years ago . Apparently an elderly ladies small dog died and she decided to take it to the vets to dispose of it . She had it in a bag whilst on the bus . Someone snatched the bag and ran away with it .
Could have been worse. It could have been a cat burglar.
There’s taking the piss. And then there’s….
My cousin and I when we were about ten years old in Eastbourne lost his wallet on the Pier. Two weeks later the police called us to say it was found. We collected the wallet and his cash (about £5) was still in the wallet but his Shiny Gabby Agbonlahor Match Attack card had been stolen, he was gutted

A cat litter tray.
Later found it down the road when they obviously realised what was in the Amazon box and "dumped" it.

Guy broke into my shop thinking I was the off licence next door as my shop wraps around the back of his. All he nicked was the CCTV recorder which was a waste of time as it backs up in the cloud. Police came but of course, nothing further.

The quarterlight in my Vauxhall Cavalier was smashed to gain access in the mid 90s.
They took a condom, and a few loose coins.

A few years back I was in Maidstone and had to change the bearings on a washing machine.
Such was the lay out of the kitchen, I had to remove a tumble dryer and a free standing electric cooker in order to give me space to work.
These were left on the driveway just outside the kitchen door as the customer didn't want them in the front room.
Repair finished and appliance on test, I went to get the removed appliances from said driveway and they were nowhere to be seen.

My virginity stolen from me in a hay barn by this rather attractive horse riding lass.
I can still smell the mix of hay and her tight riding jodhpurs.

They probably used the socks to wrap more valuable smaller items up.
A pal of mine was burgled several years back and was perplexed they had nicked his pillow cases. The old bill informed him it was common practice as the thieves use them as bags to chuck their swag in.

The kick start on a motorcycle I had, I replaced it 3 times and ot got knicked 3 times. I had enough and one night went out with a spanner a knick one myself.
That one stayed on the bike till I sold it, not saying it was the right thing to do, I just got pissed off.
