In b4 "it's aliens", which I would have kind of set myself up for...

This is a serious question though.

I'll try to make this succinct. A few weeks ago I found a painting by a skip which looked amazing. It was in great condition so I took it home. I couldn't fit in inside the flat yet, so I put a note on it under the stairs of our block of flats clearing saying "flat X, please do not remove". That night, the painting got taken, ok, fair enough, I had thought better of peoples' good natures, but whatever.

Soon after I was washing up a plant pot and put it outside the door to dry. That got taken. Then I noticed that our post was occasionally being opened, e.g. a parcel would be delivered, but when we went to get it it would be open - the contents would be there but it would be open.

Now for the weirdest part. On Saturday night I put some trainers outside the flat door, where they often remain sometimes before I bring them in. The next day they had disappeared. Then yesterday when I came back from work they had reappeared, but not placed back exactly where they were, but just thrown or dropped on the floor outside the door. Someone had clearly taken them or 'borrowed' them and just thrown them back outside the flat door after a couple of days.

Anyone remember this thread? Is something going on? It almost feels like I'm being stalked.

How large was this painting that you couldn't fit it into your flat?

It was about 3-4 ft by 2 ft [a guess]. So a decent size. We hadn't sorted out the wall space yet, and my wife has OCD so we hadn't worked out where to keep it inside. I said "fit" but was being lazy with my explanation.

BTW it's quite normal for people to keep things in the communal areas of the flats and put notes on them, as long as they only stay there for a couple of days.

Why wouldn't you just store it against a wall in one of the rooms?

Anyway, having read the OP and the linked thread about the letter you can't find, coupled with the aliens stuff, then I'm guessing maybe early onset Alzheimer's.

It's very hard to explain OCD compulsions logically because they are illogical, and a discussion on OCD is going off topic. But in short, it's psychologically more clutter which the sufferer has to process and something else which needs cleaning. Like I say, it is not logical but it is a something which many sufferers find it difficult to work with.

identify who is targeting you. a decent doorbell camera or similar should help with that. failing that, moving is probably you're only other option.

Is it worth reporting to the police do you think?
 
I left my trainers outside my back door the other day. One was taken. I was perplexed. Who would take one shoe?
Now, it’s important you know I live near a jail. So, I quickly looked for media reports of a peg legged escapee. Perhaps a pirate had managed to escape. Though, how a one legged man would scale the jail walls I do not know.
There were no such reports, thankfully. I retained the second shoe explaining to my partner the other one may turn up. She didn’t think a pirate escapee had took it, but neither did she have any confidence that the missing shoe would return.
Skip forward a number of days and I was hanging up my laundry on the washing line.
Neil, my next door neighbour said “Alex” over the fence. My name is Alex. He must want my attention I realise.
I put down the laundry basket, bed sheets it contained, mainly, and turned my gaze to Neil who was stood at the other side of the fence. I said, Hi.

I read your post, and it very clearly says you left a painting in a public area, and you left you trainers in a public area

Think it's you that needs to read your post again...
