Peabody loves to steel blankets, food, and a sip of whatever I'm drinking--coffee, tea, juice, soda--it doesn't matter he likes them all.

Timmy steals lots of things. He especially likes taking things that you don't want him to have. Yesterday, he tried running off with some loose change. That is a habit that could be costly. :LOL: The weirdest thing he likes to steal are the caps on the door stops. Every single door stop in my house is missing the cap, and the worst part is that I can't find the caps. They aren't with the lost toys...where could they be? I thought about gluing them on that way he couldn't take them off, but now I have to find them first. :Hysterical:

Farrah is a master thief and has begun teaching my DSH Sally to do it as well. The other day I found a spot where they have been hoarding! The two of them have created a "fort" by pulling down the fabric under my box spring. I was vacuuming the other day and found several skeins of yarn (mostly fun fur), all the cat toys, pizza crust, one of my son's little flip flops, several of my hair ties and a stash of dry food. Seriously!:Hysterical:

Leo likes stealing hair ties from our daughter then bringing them to play "fetch" so we made our own custom "Fetchie"

Sophie steals many things. Lately, I've been working on a puzzle and she steals puzzle pieces! Something about seeing a sphynx with a puzzle piece hanging out of her mouth just tickles me :LOL::LOL:

Amen-Ra loves to steal the set of makeup brushes I recently got. Every time I come home, they are all over the place

Miu is also a thief -- way more so than our two ferrets. Her number one thing to steal is my reading glasses. I think it's the attached cord that she wants. Knocks them off my nightstand or will pick them up in her mouth and try to walk off with them. My daughter's hair ties, rolled up balls of socks -- omg you should have seen her when I opened up my underwear drawer and she saw all my socks in there!! Lol. My bf's 7 year old son made this -- well I'm not sure what it is, but it's a bunch of items he placed in half of a long box. I think it's to race his little hexbot things. Anyway, Miu seems quite certain he made this thing for her. It's got all sorts of things to bat around and play with. She's in it all the time. Cracks me up! We have to be careful and keep the boys' bedroom door closed. The thief will make off with Legos every time. Oh and Q-tips!!

Jude tries to steal our food, but has never succeeded- although he has torn open a bag of his treats and dragged them under my bed so that I wouldn't know... until late one night I heard this crinkle crinkle sound coming from under my bed, I call out his name and he runs out and jumps up on my bed licking his chops. Needless to say, I hide his treats now in a jar that will not open unless you have thumbs.

He always comes running out into the living room (he always seems to pick the times when we have company over) with my bra strap in his mouth and my bra dragging on the floor behind him... always an awkward moment.

He also loves to dig in my school bag and steal my pens and highlighters, I'll get to school and won't have anything to write with.

Haha Jude did that, there were 3 holes in my box spring where he pulled the fabric down and there were toys all in my box spring and I didn't want to put a plastic cover on it, so I put a fitted sheet I didn't care about on the bottom of my boxspring, now he can't do that!

So far Chiffon doesn't steal, Seymour my devon rex is terrible. He steals paired socks any chance he gets. He normally carries a pair wherever he goes. He will also steal and eat any andall food, including the bird's veggies.

My sphynx has not arrived yet, but my other two cats like to steal my hair ties, my lipgloss, my tweezers, and my mascara! I guess they just don't want me to look beautiful... Lol. They hide everything waaaaaay under the couch, except the hair elastics which they put in their water bowl for some reason lol

Vito's number one thing to steal is hair ties. He also likes q-tips and dirty tissues. Yuck.

It seems hair ties are a popular choice for the nudies... when I last replied Lexus didn't steal anything but yes, she takes my hair ties. I find them everywhere! Although having quite long hair makes it interesting when I have to ask my hairless cat where one is :Lol:

Diablo hasn't quite mastered the art of stealing just yet, but we have found under our bed a stash of all their toys! One of them is onto something! :Laugh:

Anything left laying on the bathroom sink bench and my desk. Saga also has a habit of pulling the strainer bit out of the plug hole with her paws!

Sealy is another pen/pencil lover, he will try to take them out of my hand while I'm writing. If any are left out on the table, he will play with them until they fall on the floor and then the dogs get them. His other thing is drinking out of cups that have anything in them.

he steals almost anything he can get his little teeth on...
earbuds
hair ties
styling clips
twist ties
coins... pretty much anything he can bat around and chase...

you name it... if anything comes up missing in the house the first place we look is in his house or around his stuff.

he actually goes and 'hunts' for my hair ties. i have to keep my room and bathroom closed so he doesn't get them off the nightstand or bathroom counter. i have lost so many...

Steals is an understatement for DG. She hoards everything and anything under the futon in her bedroom. Small, large, it doesn't matter. She even grabs things out of my hands and runs with it and the little fart is quick. At least a lot quicker than me plus she's smart so she hides in different places after she bolts and then when I find her she bolts under my legs with the item. She has even found spots that I can't quite reach her in and she stays there and waits until I leave to bring it to her room. It's hilarious most of the time.

We are super lucky- Neeners stays out of pretty much everything. The only thing she goes a bit nutty over is ribbon- any type- and organza gift bags I use for my jewelry. She can't help but eat those things- she LOVES them!! I have to be careful to make sure it's all put away- I'm afraid she'll choke the way she scarfs them down!
