All of the bread is kept in the refrigerator, so it's empty. No room to put that bread box anywhere else.

The burglars reduced my clutter! It was my mother's bread box, though, so it had sentimental value.

Everything in my house is junk so they probably got the most valuable stuff sadly including 3 or 4 kinds of wormers, antibiotics, vitamin B complex, injectable iron, needles and syringes, and baby bottle nipples for bottle kids...

Tell the cops to look for veterinarian bandits!

They come 500 to a pack for $1 at the dollar store. I use them when I go out to avoid touching doors and elevator buttons (I live in an apartment building). No big loss. I can use Kleenex or paper towels until I replace them.

Nothing else up there but dust if he breaks in on a day I haven't dusted it.

All the stuff I used to keep on my fridge in the old house are in those cabinets and out of sight.

Well, I guess there could be dust up there.
