  • The Funniest Notes To Thieves Ever Written –

    If you’ve ever had any­thing stolen, you know the vin­di­ca­tion that can come with con­fronting the thief and express­ing how much they ruined your day/life/sense of secu­ri­ty. While this isn’t always pos­si­ble, it can be real­ly cathar­tic to leave a note for said thief in hopes that they’ll return the the scene of the crime some day and sense your frus­tra­tions. From var­i­ous sites includ­ing the very fun­ny Passive Aggressive Notes, which is a great one-stop-shop for hilar­i­ous notes of all kinds, we found these fun­ny notes left for thieves. We have to say most of the stolen items are either bicy­cles, laun­dry, or sand­wich­es for the most part, with a cou­ple stranger items includ­ing an Ocarina (that flute thing from Zelda).
