Stuff you've had nicked

I had my red trike nicked out of our garden when I was 3. I was so traumatised that I still haven't got over it 67years later.

There are support groups for that type of devastation in early life . I’ve been to one and you all stand up and let it out . It’s incredible how the tears just flow and everybody just does a mega cuddle at the end . The anger just dissipates 😢
 
Brand new Kenwood stereo out of my MK2 Golf GTi. It was 19 years ago and I'm still annoyed by it.

My favourite U2 album on CD nicked by a pikey Brummie I lived with in my first year of University.

Still smarts.

I had my original Levi jacket, with all my northern soul badges on it, nicked out of my TR7 whilst playing Sunday League football at Saltersgill
 
My mums house got burgled about 20 years ago. Around the time the bank of england had just had to recall this batch of £10 notes because they'd been printed with some dodgy ink and the serial numbers were just rubbing off. I had one and was keeping it in an A4 plastic wallet thinking one day it'd be worth more than it's monetary value as a collectable. Anyway the burgler took it and it's always cracked me up to think they'll have just thought I was a kid who kept their pocket money in a weirdly tragic looking "piggy bank".
 
A car radio from my 205 near the Dorman museum during a Boro match In 1990.
A bike when I was a kid
A stapler from a work desk (unforgiveable)
 
I was burgled in the 90s and they took everything except my LPs. They took the boxes that the LPs were in and emptied them out to put other stuff in.

I've recently sold some LPs for £50 and have others valued at £100 +.
 
Like Norman C, in it's way. I had a really good dark green Parker fountain pen swiped when I was about 15 at school. I not very gently persuaded someone to confess, despite their howls of protest. At least that made me feel a bit better about it.

Home from a weekend at Uni about 5-6 years later I was all hands down at the back of the family sofa and found a really good dark green Parker fountain pen........

I've often felt a bit bad about extracting that confession........
 
Had a laptop sneakily nicked once, luckily stuff was backed up.

The one that always sticks in my mind for its audacity was having a pint nicked in Leo’s in Redcar. Was waiting for mates to turn up so bought a pint at the bar, turned and looked around the place for a couple of seconds and looked back to see a hand swipe my pint away but couldn’t see who did it, it wasn’t even rammed but the thief was like lightning. I looked imploringly at the bar man who just rolled his eyes and poured me another!
 
I had my first girlfriend nicked by a mate who is a Boro fan. I was pleased to find out recently she is still single, and a solicitor in York who spends her spare time renovating antiques. So probably no great loss in hindsight.

I had my vinyl copy of The Concert For Bangladesh nicked in my first teaching job, having taken it into work for some now unfathomable reason.

In my fourth teaching job I had my car nicked from the car park. It was found on waste ground in Grove Hill. It was five months old but was not a write off. The spare change was still in the centre console too.
 
Knew a lad who got burgled whilst he was away. They took the tele etc but also had a sh@t o the bedroom floor!!! He hired a specialist cleaner after the Police had been, packed a bag and went to a hotel and put the place up for sale and never went back. Really freaked him out. I am a bit of a leftie but I would have people that break into peoples homes, birched in public and given 5 years hard Labour.
 
I got a brand new leather casey, laces and all. I went over Pally Park and , naively, left it at the bottom of the slide. Never seen it again, and didn't get another ball for years.
I had a telly and a wall clock nicked after a burglary when I lived in town. When I went to pick up the stolen items at the cop shop they only had the clock. I asked about the TV and they said when they gave chase they only got the lad with the clock, the lad with the old style 26"telly got away. He must have been a big strong runner .

Quality👍

I actually used Bernie in an argument with an Irish mate of mine. He was moaning that Rice and Grealish were 'Irish' and shouldn't be playing against them for England.

I basically said 'you'd have anyone'. I asked how Irish Aldridge and Mcateer were? 😂. Then threw Bernie under the bus and said 'don't get me started on Bernie Slaven' 😂

Dont forget Tony Cascarino who had no irish relations at all as he was adopted and the obvious one "you're not even Irish" Mick Macarthy
 
Had an Austin Maestro pinched from the,multi story outside the police station in Aycliffe just finished my Saturday job at Kwick Save, was walking round the carpark like a plank thinking I'd parked on another level only to realise it had been pinched about 30 minutes later. I dunno whats worse, buying one of those **** cars, or stealing one?

Had a bike taken form garage when I first moved to Salford. they ripped the garage roof off to get to it, and then took it out the same way they came in. Also had a bike stripped outside the New Oxford pub, also in Salford. only went into see a mate for a quick pint, it was there for about 20 minutes, came out only the frame left so went back inside and got smashed. carrying the bike home got pulled over by a copper and was asked what i was doing with the bike frame. I was in full high viz cycling gear so thought the question a bit odd, so told him its a new sport, bike frame carrying whilst ***ed. I nearly pinched by the old bill for being sarcastic. I just walked off when he was shouting at me to come back. eventually he caught up with me and asked why I was sarcastic and wanted an explanation. It was hard not to be sarcastic again it really was so i just said I sold the wheels for some beer money and I liked the thrill of riding my bike withlut a saddle. his mate told me to go home and sober up.
 
The only thing significant I've had stolen was when my car was taken in Newcastle when I went to see Motorhead at The Mayfair. I got it back the next day though, the police found it in Byker.
The most gutting theft though was when my denim jacket with all my rock band patches went missing from my room when I was at Marine college.
 
I had my Nova SR nicked from Low Fell. I got the car back, minus its stereo and all my cassette collection. Apart from Chris Rea. They left that one for some reason.
 
Edit ; Nothing of any significance at all. A pair of footy shorts (green) when I was 12.

And...my Nova GSi when I was 24. forgot about that one! (but then everyone was getting them nicked at that time)
