Oddest thing! We had a full house last night and no one came for breakfast until 9.
We needed our big cutting board to prep.
It's gone!
We looked everywhere, even our own kitchen. Nope, it's gone.
Seriously? You stole my cutting board?
 
Oh, you KNOW it'll turn up. Things like that always do. Just watch...
 
I thought my bird bath had been stolen several years ago during a carnival. About a month ago when I was having work done on my yard it was found - stuck under the rhodo - probably by a kid who was mowing the yard.

Now that I've said it's been stolen! Well that's a good thing, I need it back!

In the kitchen. You know it's wide open. :-(
 
I hope not. My sister is fearful of that. She said, how can you put your precious things out to be stolen? So far, so good.

But is is left out on the counter or put in a cupboard. If I found a guest went into a cupboard and took it..I would be calling the police. But...we know you don't know who did it. Go buy yourself a new one and move on. Nothing else to be done at this point. Maybe hope it will turn up somewhere unexpected.
 
What kind of cutting board was this that they might have felt compelled to steal? Was this a beautiful wood cutting board with an intricate design?

Not the least bit pretty. Very utilitarian. But really big.

Don't understand then. You would think the that bigger it is, the less interesting to steal... hard to hide!
Do you have any cameras? We have one that watches the front door.
 
That is very strange. Could it be laying flat under other things in a cabinet where you can't easily see it? Do you have kitchen help that may have put it somewhere?

I'm thinking maybe some guest used your kitchen when they weren't supposed to and put the cutting board away in a place that you wouldn't think of.

My thought as well...OTOH, I have been known to hide things from myself.

Then swear there was no way I did it, but I did!
 
If guests have access to your kitchen, one could have taken it to his or her room to act as a cheese tray or other serving board.
I'd freak if I caught a guest in my kitchen.

I really should post a picture of the kitchen. There is no hiding place!
Actually the blog has renovation photos that show the space.
We're still looking...

Every time we have an innsitter, it's frustrating getting back and cooking for the next couple of weeks. Not their fault, but things are put away in places I would never even think to look! I turn around to grab a utensil or something else and I need it quickly...I spend the next 10 minutes trying to find it because it's not where I usually put it.
 
We did have one crazy woman here that did steal, a few things and attempt to steal others. She was SO of a tour guide that had several groups stay here over a 2 week period. This woman and the experience could fill a full chapter of a book (anyone interested?) and I have mentioned her before.
One of the attempted items was DH's jacket. We hunted for it everywhere and he was thinking he left it somewhere while out. BUT low and behold I found it stuck between the mattress & box springs in her room, right along with some of our breakfast silverware.
Before they checked out the tour guide searched ALL her bags & his to make sure she had not 'accidentally' packed a few extra things. He also paid us for things she stole & consumed.

Yowzer! Sounds like she had a real mental problem and was a kleptomaniac. The husband must have been aware of her problem. I can't believe he would take her anywhere!
