Am I being targeted?

Let's look at the evidence shall we?
  • You took a minging picture from a skip, something so hideous that not even the previous owner had the shame to take it to a charity shop as they knew nobody would ever hang it on their wall.
  • You washed a plant pot that was so dirty that you had to soak it so much that it had to be dried outside. You probably didn't clean it well enough.
  • Your mail is occasionally opened so someone is checking what you are buying is worthy of being in the house.
  • Your trainers were taken for inspection, probably to clean them as have already ascertained that you can't clean very well. They were returned in a scattered manner so the perpetrator was probably disturbed before they could arrange them properly.
  • Your marriage certificate was stolen.
  • Your wife has OCD.
It's your wife mate. Sorry.

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.

Return the painting to the skip.

Superb, i run with a local train running club, and they have a tree where they sling old worn trainers. Granted it's not particularly environmentally friendly.

It was picked up on Facebook and some of the comments were banging on about it being a way for drug dealers to signal each was hilarious :D
 
What kind of a running club slings their old trainers into a tree :cry:. Sounds like some kind of pagan running cult combined with yob litter culture.

100%, the shoes thing is often foxes. I've lost a couple of shoes to urban foxes over the years. They also dragged all sorts of rubbish into my garden and left it there until I boarded our alley up.

This is a thing in some places too, Australia is one. Shoes on overhead cables = dealer on the street.

OP you're not being targeted, you just have one nice neighbour and one ****.

So OP, did you ask your wife if it was her trolling you? :D
 
After something else being stolen yesterday [which clearly had our flat marked on it], we are now setting a glitter trap.

Murdering, maniacal madman! How will you sleep at night knowing someone could be glittered? :)

(It wouldn't surprise me if glittering could be some sort of an offence, most everything anti criminal is these days...).
