of your fridge. What was stolen?

(14,852 posts)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.

(14,120 posts)I don't have anything up there. How do I know if someone broke in. Are you sure that's all they took?

(21,343 posts)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.

Well, I guess there could be dust up there.
