A Tale of the Peculiar Robber

The other morning I was awoken by some banging, thumping, stomping and shuffling. The source of the noise got closer. As I pried my eyes open, I see the husband searching for something, which actually is very common in our house. He asks if I've seen his antibiotics. I reply, "It was on the kitchen counter last night when you took them before bed."

He continues the hunt and the banging, thumping, stomping and shuffling gets louder. I roll out of bed to help. At our household I'm the resident investigator - because I'm good at finding things. I begin by retracing his steps - No luck. At this point I'm guessing the husband is running late for work because if it was a cartoon, steam would be spurting from his nose and ears.

I say a quick goodbye and hop back into bed.

But sleep escapes me.

....The hunt continues.

Now I'm the source of the noise. The cupboards and drawers are being opened and loudly banged shut. The furniture and appliances are getting thumped as I look underneath and behind them. I'm stomping from room to room and rifling through anything and everything - even the fridge and bins as all the contents get shuffled around.

The kitchen, bedrooms, living room, dining room, laundry and bathrooms have all been explored. I admit defeat.

We were robbed!!
By an uncharacteristic robber who isn't into laptops, cameras or a TV.

A very odd robber - who doesn't steal but instead, hides things.

This is where I found the treasure.

Please excuse the dirt - he's due for a wash :)

Gold Star for ME!!
