The labels off their canned goods and toilet paper for starters.

Toilet paper isn’t a slight inconvenience.. That is a terrorist act.

The credit cards. The car keys. All the monopoly pieces.

Breakers from the breaker box. But only the ones for the bedrooms and bathrooms.

@johnpowell You can just take a shower after you realize it’s gone and you need it. .

I guess I could take every duplex receptical out of the house leaving the cables wire nutted and safely taped.

I guess If I was evil I would put a parental lock in all of the television channels.

canidmajor's avatar

Stove knobs and coffee cups.

Vignette's avatar

The wifi router and all the door knobs.

Dutchess_III's avatar

You people are evil! EVIL I say!

All the mirrors in the house.

Vignette's avatar

Oooops, almost forgot to take the hot water heater.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Now them’s some fightin’ words @Vignette!

ARE_you_kidding_me's avatar

I’ll take the garbage disposal leaving just the plastic cover at the bottom of the sink so you can’t tell it’s gone.

I’ll also unbolt and remove all the commodes.

johnpowell's avatar

Holy shit people.

Hot water heaters, toilets. The fuck…

I was thinking stuff like the batteries in the smoke detectors. So they beep a lot and you rip your hair out figuring out which one doesn’t have the battery.

canidmajor's avatar

I agree with @johnpowell. The OP says ”slightly inconvenience”. There’s a lot in this thread that smacks of “making life miserable”.

Vignette's avatar

I stand behind my choices are minor inconveniences or pure luxuries for that matter that life will go on without. As the oldest boy of 5 kids I was always last to shower and the only hot showers I ever could count on were at the YMCA, I did not have door handles on my bedroom door all through High School and did not have wifi at home until I was 42 years old. Take my wifi now and it will be days before I notice. (OK more like 10 minutes but I would not mind tat all)

Jebus @Vignette! What kind of upbringing did you have??

Sagacious's avatar

Their newspaper from the front sidewalk.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

Or i would take the tv remote and the cellphone charger cord.

Their wives?

Patty_Melt's avatar

A burglar takes what will benefit them, even when taking something trivial. I have no use for plumbing parts. I would take groceries, toilet paper, a coloring book if they have one, oh, and their welcome mat. Mine is awfully worn.

kritiper's avatar

The bell off his/her bicycle. And the kickstand.

canidmajor's avatar

^^^Kickstand theft would make me nuts.

Zaku's avatar

The most valuable things I can get away with, from megacorporations, and super-rich people I’m convinced are terrible people.
