the plate from inside the microwave
one shoelace off each shoe

OK, I should post an actual answer. Umm… A cheap calendar facing a window. This would, of course, be a signal to my nefarious criminal associates that the house will be empty that night and they can steal the 15 to 20 tons of gold conveniently in the basement. What do you mean, my nefarious associates and I will have difficulties hauling away 15 to 20 tons of gold? What do you mean, they even made fun of that in Goldfinger? By the way, this thread reminds me of Edward D. Hoch’s Nick Velvet stories, about a thief who charges exorbitant fees to steal only useless items (and who usually has to turn sleuth to figure out why his clients want to pay him those fees). |

A single card from each of their card decks.
The tops from their pens.
The stoppers from their kitchen sink.
The chain in their toilet tank that pulls up the flapper.
The lid from their pickles.
All their Phillips head screwdrivers but only those.
The grips from their frying pans.
The buttons from their pants.
And I'd carry it all off in their pillowcases.
