Had all my t-shirts stolen from the laundromat
This happened last weekend. I've been livid all week. Maybe 15 t-shirts, some of them quite expensive and some sentimental....I stupidly forgot to put them in my laundry bag when I left the laundromat and didn't realize till the next day because I didn't put my laundry away until then.
Today the laundromat showed me camera footage of the douchenozzle who took them. He's folding his own laundry and without a shred of hesitation just walks over to the table with my t-shirts on them, picks them up as if it's the most natural thing in the world and puts them in his own bag. They know who he is and they're going to call me the next time he comes in....

Glad they had the security video and you have a chance to get your tee shirts back.

What I don't understand is, why are people so stupid as to commit crimes in full view of cameras these days? You have to be pretty dumb not to know that you're being watched 24/7 in stores. Not only that, but this is an establishment that he frequents every week, according to the proprietor. Why risk getting arrested just for a lousy pile of t-shirts? I think some people just can't help themselves. The jails are full of 'em!

If he sold them and can't get the back I can print up a batch for you that say:
Hey, if you're taking these from the laundromat then smile cuz you're on Candid Camera.

Heh heh...I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up for a good old fashioned New York stabbing here....to be fair I have no idea what kind of guy DN is. He had a baseball cap and a mustache, if that's any indication.

I genuinely didn't know that people still used laundromats these days. Is that still common in US ? I thought they had gone the way of telephone boxes and VHS, can't remember the last time I even saw one. The levels people will stoop to and what people will steal these days is amazing though. Near where I live a woman who had been knocked over by a car that had just driven off and left her had her phone stolen by someone else as she laid on the ground, who also left her there . I say these days, but thinking about it, it's long been the case. I crashed a car many years ago (rolled it several times) and it ended up upside down in a ditch in a field. I was knocked out and taken to hospital. By the time the car was recovered a few hours later, someone had climbed in and stolen the stereo system. It wasn't even a particularly good one.

I've told her we don't want to know because they have it
ruff enough needing only one.

Don't feel too sorry for that one-legged SOB - he gets around well enough to come round here too. ;)

They're certainly common in New York because most of the old tenement apartments don't have washing machines in the building. Newer apartments either have communal machines or machines in the apartments. Back when I lived in Britain there were certainly laundromats dotted around but they were less common. When I lived in a flat without a washing machine I would lug my laundry over to my mother's place once a week.

Take someone with you or follow him and get his tag number or address. I would be ticked off too, in fact it does make me mad. What is wrong with people???
What are your options?
The police who will do nothing about some tee shirts stolen.
You can ask for the back but there is no telling what you may get.
You could "get him back" by sashing his tires or something but that would make you as bad as him.
You could hire a couple of bikers (or Guido) to get your shirts once you figure out where he lives. That might be the best option unless of course they hurt the guy and say you hired them to do it.
I don't know if there is a good option. Perhaps you should take him a couple of more tee shirts, give them to him, and tell him that he has them all now. Tell him he obviously needs them more than you do. Then go get yurself some new tees.

That would be great if he had any sense of pride, which I doubt he has. He'd probably be over the moon to get some more freebies! As for following him home, that's always difficult in Manhattan because they inevitably disappear into an apartment building with 5+ floors. Ideally I would like full payment for the t-shirts instead of getting them back, because I don't want to wear clothing that some scumbucket has worn. Gonna miss my Joe Cool one though

Teah Sharke... probably best to just forget it. That is really hard though, at least for me. First I get really mad and lose sleep etc over something like this and sinally come to my sensesbut at what point do you break? Surely one would have to go after someone if they stole a car but isn't stealing stealing? I have a hard time with it. I know better but it takes me time to get straight about some things.
I am sorry for your problems and hope you find peace about it. This guy will reap what he sows.

One of my customers ran a karate studio. So the punks broke in (before I installed the alarm) and stole a number of things, including a pile of new uniforms with his logo/name on the back.....
How useless was that? It's not like you can wear them anywhere at all. And if the karate studio owner/black belt sees you wearing his uniforms and knows you're not his student....... oh my....!!!

I think you should wait until HE washes your shirts then, very calmly, walk over, open the washer door and take your shirts back. What would HIS options be then?  (Then make a YouTube video of this one - we'd all have to see it!  )
