We can only pray that this is not the beginning of a new crime wave!  What’s next?  Our WIP’s?  Our UFO’s?  Our stash?  Where will it end?

  1. Where are the Knitting Police when we need them?

  2. I have an alibi.

  3. If I put my nastiest yarn on the back seat of my car, will someone please steal it?

  4. I’d pay someone to steal some of my more embarrassing knits. Maybe I should start leaving them in an unlocked car.

  5. Merciful heavens, I hope that bag did not contain a half-finished Bohus sweater! I agree that this is a case for the Knitting Police.

  6. Oh, the horror! The humanities!

    (You know, many knitters talk about how their stash is out of control and will soon eat their houses… maybe the thief *should* start lifting stash!)

  7. Oh dear! That is an old trick here in S.Africa. They smash the passenger window with a car spark plug or big stone and then steal what they can reach – usually ladies’ handbags, cellphones, etc. The thief thought her money was in the bag! So from now on you must put your knitting bags under the seats ladies.

  8. I just want to think that it wasn’t a knitter who coveted the knitting supplies and yarn, but a thief who truly thought it was a purse containing plain old money.

  9. This made me laugh so hard — a good way to start a Saturday morning. Let’s hope it was a terrible knitting project in that bag. Or maybe it was the canvas bag they were after! And who cares about the Christmas ornament…

  10. I had my briefcase stolen last year and it contained TWO addi turbos and an almost finished sock. The police were not sympathetic, it certainly didn’t make the paper in St Paul. Sheesh.

  11. When I was a fairly new knitter this happened to me. I had finished my first stranded yoke sweater the night before and it was in the car and then it was gone. I was watching for that sweater to show up on someone for at least 10 years, fully prepared to rip it right off whoever was wearing it!

  12. I wish someone would steal DH’s dam* sweater out of my car that I have been working on and off for the past 10 years. It’s been ripped out and almost totally reknit 3 times. And I’m a badge carrying fed! Hmm, this requires some thought…..

  13. May be the perpetrator was none other than her husband who couldn’t bring himself to tell his beloved that he really didn’t like that purple sleeveless vest she’d been knitting him for the last 6 months…?? Desperation does funny things to a man.

  14. Aaaaack! Time to buy more wool! 😉

  15. Take my car, leave the knitting please.

  16. I had my car broken into in my hometown right before Thanksgiving–they took everything of value, including my laptop, palm pilot, purse, money, and YES, my knitting bag. I’ve replaced everything else, but I’m still cursing the &%#&@*#s for taking my precious stash of yarn and supplies.

  17. I live in fear that’s going to happen (when I carelessly leave my knitting bag
    lying in the passenger seat). Poor woman.
