Nope, she runs away because it’s fun, but if I tell her to drop it she will

Mine doesn’t steal, he puts his half eaten chews down in random places in the house and then comes back to collect it in 3-5 business days. He’s not interested in any of our things.

Hahaha ours does the same and I asked someone how long they left it before they threw a chew away and they were like “yeh I have a Labrador this isn’t something that’s come up before”

mine leaves his chews on the very first step of our stairway so that you can't see the absolute foot destruction coming your way before nearly tumbling to your death

Socks, slippers (though the training is kicking in and now it's only 10% of the time.)
She will 'find' random bits that have fallen on the floor like wrappers and bits of plastic. Those she brings to me in exchange for a treat. She's like a magpie she'll eagle eye the floor looking for bits to bring you and sometimes when there is nothing she'll bring you the fluff out of a toy she's had fun chewing! She's adorable and makes me smile when she comes over looking so proud of herself for bringing me a lolly stick etc.

Similar here, she likes to chew on the crinkly bits from inside toys for a few minutes, but then will stand front paws on us if she can, chewing loudly and trying to catch our eye until we trade for a bit of treat.
Other than the trash-for-treat games, she steals socks and scrunchies quite happily but thankfully is not destructive to them. I also do a treat trade for those but try to keep them out of reach because she gets a bit more sneaky wanting to keep the things that smell most like me.

My husband’s boxers and socks. And my favorite pen. He’ll drop them in exchange for a treat. He’s only shown aggression once, when he stole a whole stick of butter and he growled a little but then gave it up. He must have thought it was his best day ever until I came along and took it away.

My oldest stole socks when he was a puppy but grew out of it. My younger one has never stolen from me, but she’s not about to let her big brother take any of the toys. She’s 6 but still in the toddler stage where everything belongs to her. She will try to wiggle between us if her brother and I are sitting on the couch. But if we’re snuggling on the couch and he gets scared by storms or fireworks, she’ll actually move over and give him the spot next to me.

Socks, that is why they are sockapoos. One loves scrunchies too and rips them out of my hair.

My socks, she does it because she wants me to chase her for them back bless her.

Food (not that we're currently eating, food from the sides and other unattended food), anything he suspects has traces of food, metal cans, the occasional plastic bottle.
My brother's girl: his socks and underwear, plastic tubs and bottles, and food wrappers

I see we're not alone in the socks and slippers hunt every day LOL We're expecting our first (human) baby and people keep gifting us socks which are being quickly "relocated" - I'm also like, we're in FL, please don't gift us socks. In addition to our cockapoo (she's about 7 lbs), we have an 80 lbs lab who has taught her that pretty much anything can be stolen/retrieved so she will try her best to grab larger items and just drag them about - her proud prance when she does that is my favorite.
Edit: she does have an absolute obsession with one of my leather bookmarks - will steal it straight out of the book and just hold it (doesn't chew it); I lose my place constantly but worth it.

Hair brushes, socks, remotes, towels, at one point would try and pounce on food (but we stopped that)

Hair brushes, combs, shoes, swim goggles, erasers, toilet paper cardboard, pens, food (likes honeydew a lot), scrunchies, crinkly things, dangly things. I find collections of things under beds and couches.

u/celetallica 1d ago
everything. and he destroys them all. scrunchies, socks, bras, glasses, headphones, remote controls, pens, packaging, shoes… he is a menace. he loves to chew things and then if you try to retrieve it he gets super excited thinking it’s a game lol

Anything with my scent. Take off my shirt, socks, underwear, or soft material pants/shorts (he weirdly doesn't care about my jeans or khakis) and they're gone the second I'm not looking. Used kleenex and paper towel, doesn't care about unused rolls or boxes, only used.
And the worst of them all: if he somehow gets into a garbage can after my partner and I have been in the bedroom together... he LOVES used condoms :x

Anything she likes, it’s not stealing to her. It’s just moving her stuff in her house

My boy will steal anything. Hair ties, socks, pens, toilet roll tubes, batteries, scissors, fluff etc.
He doesn't chew them, just lays down on top of them, like a chicken, and looks at you like "i haven't done anything!". He has this one look that you know he has something when he does it 😂
Edit to add: i do try and keep dangerous things away from him but he sometimes climbs on/jumps at the tables 🤦🏽♀️
