Am I being targeted?

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.

That's sounds like a genuine challenge to live with, and I don't really see any mileage in posting more attempts at comedy comebacks from me.

I'll leave you with, try to stop leaving stuff where it can be nicked and good luck catching the culprit, if there is one.

Thank you for the honest response.

This is not really answering the question though since it's not just about the shoes, but the packages, other stuff being taken, not to mention our marriage certificate going missing a few weeks ago. It does look like I am being targeted.

Hopefully you didn't leave the marriage certificate outside the flat? :p
 
Doesn't really sound like you're being targeted. Maybe ask neighbours if they've had issues with post / parcels being opened or things being taken?

Not great that stuff left in the communal areas gets taken, but at the end of the day someone might just be being an arse about it (or perhaps rightly annoyed depending on how much of an obstruction it causes and how regular it is), or could be unlucky with an opportunistic thief. Weird about the trainers though. I'd be more worried about post and parcels being opened though, because there's not even any kind of plausible 'it was in the way' excuse, and shows that the mail area isn't secure.

I wonder if there is anywhere you could hide a camera to watch the post area, or do something like hide a tracking tag in something to see where it goes as others suggested...

I left my trainers outside my back door the other day. One was taken. I was perplexed. Who would take one shoe?

Me.

A previous (nightmare) neighbour had kids and they used to throw their shoes over the fence into my garden at least once a day.

I threw them back. I had a friendly word with her. I continued to throw them back, had another word. Nothing changed.

Eventually, I gave up and threw one back and put the other in the bin. The shoe throwing stopped shortly after this.

Yours is a good story and highly justified.

Sometimes people just do unexpected things though. Like the person who stole the saddle clamp for my bike - that was done either because they needed a clamp, or most likely, to annoy me. Which it did. I suppose it could have also been a warning that my bike was vulnerable.
 
Only thing I can suggest is you knock on all the neighbours doors and demand to know their shoe size. Don’t take their word for it though, get down on your knees and inspect the feet yourself.

I already said stop leaving things out, but apparently I can not read....
