A stack of expired coupons that I left on a table at the library while I went to restroom. They left my computer, notebook, graphing calculator and sunglasses. But they took the coupons that were worthless

Someone stole my skydiving log book from my car. That does no one any good but me. The worst thing was, I had to go back and log everything again. I had to re-write everything and get the signatures of everyone I'd jumped with. That sucked. What in the world did that person get out of that?
I once left my car unlocked and returned a few hours later to find that someone had stolen my mix tapes. Yes, that's right: unlabeled casette tapes. Completely un-resellable, so I hope they liked my choice in music at the time.
when i was at the university working as a student in the chemistry lab i had my lab coat airbrushed by a friend. it was a pic of a guy cutting his way out of my back with a chainsaw by cutting right through my spine. looked awesome, lots of blood, cut ribs, lungs and so.
somebody stole it. but of course the guy couldn't use it at the university because everybody knew it. and taking it home with all the toxic chemicals and what not on it would be stupid and illegal anyway.

That is absolutely horrible. I hope you had some other sort of record of all of your jumps so it wasn't too difficult to recreate.
While living in Japan, I had my bag stolen out of my bike's basket (very manly for men to have!) and the stupid aspect was that I then reported it to the police in broken Japanese to which they quickly discovered how cheap I really am. The conversation went something like this:
Policeman: What else was in the bag?
Me: My sunglasses.
Policeman: And?
Me: A pen.
Policeman: And?
Me: A notebook.
Policeman: And?
Me: Some packets of complimentary tissues.
Policeman: How much is the bag worth?
Me: $20.
Policeman: Can you describe the pen?
Me: It was a black pen.
Policeman: How much did it cost?
Me: $1
[smirks from other police officers]
Policeman: And the notebook?
Me: It was B5 size.
Policeman: How much did it cost?
Me: $1
Policeman: How much were your sunglasses?
Me: $6
Policeman: Okay, well we can't include the tissues as they are free.
Me: I understand.
They never found the bag.

Nope- I had no other record. I had to go back to everyone I'd jumped with and piece it all together. It wasn't fun. And if you know anything about how strict people in aviation are, you can get a good picture of how difficult it was.
(seperate incidents)
- Six bananas
- A block of wood
- A square canvas bag used for holding recycling
- Five bananas
- My DVD of Death to Smootchy
That cracked me up. Which hurt the most? The six bananas or the five bananas?
The five, because it was then that I realized I was dealing with serial bananacide.
Hahaha
Who would even think of stealing bannanas? Well apart from if they were starving
When I was in junior high school, someone stole my sneakers out of my gym locker. Why on earth anyone would want a pair of well-worn, crummy sneakers (Keds) defies logic.
In High School, I once had someone steal my punctuation right from under me. It was just before I went to print and submit my final exam essay for English. Of course I printed and submitted, and wondered why my performance was horrid. I can only assume the blotto deuce performed a good old find & replace when I went to utilise the lavatory.
If I found out who it was, I would have overwritten his/her essay with all the punctuation marks they stole.

Wow. You win
(Although I think the serial bananacide guy deserves an honourable mention. Hope you're storing your bananas in a locked cage now.)That's a great prank, although possibly not one that would be well-received!
Oh, how could I forget: in grade 7 I was mighty PO'd when the class meanie stole a set of Apple stickers that I had.
When I lived in Rome I had a pickpocket (they are very good in Rome) steal what was in my back pocket. Instead of my wallet or a bundle of bills, he got a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. The pickpockets had the last laugh since they got my wallet later. What a hassle!
ahh this brings back memories....
Two years ago I went away for Christmas. When I got back someone had stolen my Christmas lights that were wrapped around the entryway arch.... Why they stole them I do not know... a strand of lights costs all of $2 or so at Target
