Stealing of clothes....

Hello there Ardoy. Oh, I think those are very terrible incidents. I also don't like it to happen to me because I really love buying some clothes and I treasure all of them. Maybe all of you there should just be careful whenever you need to wash your clothes. When you would like to leave them outside, be sure that you would always check them so others couldn't get them. You may also put a pet dog near the clotheslines so if someone would try to steal your clothes, at least you would be alarmed. Though I think maybe, it's just better if you wouldn't leave your clothes outside so they would be safe. You just use clothes drier so they would easily dry even though you might put them just inside. On the other hand, when you think drying them in sunlight is really good, you just bring them out but you should make sure you could guard them. :) I think that already happened to me before. It happened to me few times. My clothes were only in my room. When I really needed to use them, I think I couldn't find them anymore. I think my clothes were gotten by some nannies. The first time I experienced that was when I was a college student. At first, I really didn't know that some of my clothes were missing. Then, my sister went to my nephew's nanny's residence to call her again to work in our home. When she got out of the house, she was wearing my favorite blouse and tattered short pants. My sister asked me if I gave those to her and I said I didn't. The last time I lost some of my clothes was maybe two years ago. I really loved two of my blouses that I just bought. I really planned to wear them during my boyfriend's graduation but when I looked for them already, they were both gone. I just didn't know who got them. I was not sure of it but I think it was another nanny who came to be my roommate. We shared the same room that time. I think I really don't like that to happen again. I am now more careful than before. I think we should all be careful with these kinds of people. You're right in what you've said, we should better be alert because we don't know when these bad people would do this undesirable act of stealing our beloved clothes. Anyway, happy myLotting to you. :)

3 years ago I was staying with friends sharing one house i another country , I had a lot of clothes stolen . My clothes were stolen from inside my room by members of the house I didnt notice until I lose a lot .

I have experienced clothes being stolen when I was studying in college, and staying outside with a group of female friends. It was quite a bad experience, as our under garments and some clothes were stolen. The clothes are not new and expensive. We were quite worried, as only a few girls were staying in the house. After our clothes were being stolen, we decided to hang our clothes in the house at night. And the next year, we moved to another bigger house, with a few more guys. We didn't feel safe to stay with only girls, perhaps some perverts have been stalking us. Since then, I didn't dare to stay with girls only.

Ardoy, my former home was no exception to losing of clothes. We had lost a few clothes including undies without any trace. It had been a few times, when we dry new t-shirts and undies, they are surely gone in the evening. There is a time when my sister wash and dry her branded clothes outside, to our surprise the clothes gone just after we had completed our lunch. My sister was very angry and sad that she brought home a puppy. We heard a few times the puppy bark whenever we are having lunch. From that day onwards, we checked and discovered that no clothes gone missing. We are happy that at last we are at peace. Until now, we are still thinking at what that person are going to do to our stolen items especially those undies....

I actually don't think that there is anything that we can have today that would never be stolen by another person. The reason that I think that this is the case is because of the hard economic times that we are living in right now. There are far too many people that simply are not able to meet their basic needs for life and because of that they will, unfortunately, stoop to the level of stealing those things that they are not able to afford.

We live on a first floor and dry our clothes in the balcony. Luckily, we never experienced any such thing. My uncle, auntie and their family live on the ground floor and they dry their clothes in a porch. They also never faced any such incident. May be you all wear branded clothes and the robber also likes those brands. People stealing clothes sounds really funny and weird, but yes you are right if any such thing is happening people should become careful about it.

What the....? Yah, I've heard such incident. But, I just can't imagine how people steal clothes from someone's backyard. I am sure these people are too desperate and they know how to choose the new ones. Maybe they're selling those stolen new clothes.

People in our apt building open the dryers and everything, it's just awful! We dry our clothes in our flat (hang them up) but even still, I have had my undies stolen, I had knitten dishcloths stolen, and I think recently a good pair of denim shorts in the last 2 weeks, it feels like we're violated. Hubby tries to keep on top of things though, he goes back to the laundry room at exactly 20 minutes after the washer starts, so that's all we can do. He doesn't want me in the laundry room because I got into a fight with a lady a few years ago, and it escalated in the halway where the superintendent had to calm us down. It's brutal. Sorry for the rant it just hit a raw nerve with me...glad you posted this discussion.

I used to hang out clothes in the backyard and nothing was stolen ever, honestly didn't think about it. Do you have a gate? If they get through it or climb through the fence, it's more than scary. But even if they can step there from the street, it's so mean. These thieves know more than anyone which clothes are branded and can be sold easily. Be careful

There are a lot of crimes that are happening nowadays, all kinds of sorts, done to innocent victims. Others are heinous and others are petty ones. I had the same experience, losing some of my favorite pants. That's why I always make it sure that I clear our laundry room every end of the day, because that room is open and accessible because it is located at our backyard. Let's find a way to protect our property no matter how big or small the valuse it is. Thanks

I have to read it twice, the part about undies being stolen. I was like, really? Wow, I've never experienced this and frankly I don't really want to ever. My clothes are too personal for me and most of them have sentimental value. Plus, most of them are stuff that I cannot find anymore, especially the way they fit me.
