I tell ya it takes cohones to walk up and steal stuff right under someone's nose. My Finis Alignment Kickboard is gone! Pool was packed so no way to tell where it went and we were all busy doing a chunk of 200's. There were a lot of non-swimmers there i.e. kids horsing around so I can guess where it went. Oh well, while I'm ticked I guess if someone really needs something that badly I hope they truly enjoy it and get what they need. I can envision the kid who took it gloating: "That guy is such a moron he is using that water frisbee incorrectly."
Argh!

I think thefts of things that have little value to anyone other than their legitimate owner may actually be worse than thefts of expensive things, emotionally. Someone stole my iPod in grad school and while I wasn't happy about it, I could see why someone wanted it. I've been lucky with pool stuff so far but I have had other stuff taken in the past.
A friend of mine put a new bottle of expensive French name-brand shower gel on the bench. 2 minutes later it's gone.
Not that long ago I accidentally left my shower bag at the Rec and was sure it was gone forever. I was really bummed because a) I made the bag and b) I use special curly hair stuff that's not super cheap. When I found it at lost and found I almost hugged the guy. Thanks, honest person! She must have had straight hair.
