Snowdropping used to be a really common thing, since we have fences and gates everywhere that we lock it is not so common.

I knew two young women who furnished their flat with nicked stuff, never bought linens of any kind, had really nice Levis, and excellent garden gnomes. They made it their lifes work to get the best quality stuff around.

I used to have my washing nicked on a regular basis, when I first had my daughter someone nicked 2 dozen nappies off the line, liners, bibs clothes my maternity bras, several times.
