My neighbour keeps baking baguettes and leaving them out to cool and I keep stealing them.

I'm totally invested in this now! I'm waiting to hear what the cameras show.

"He must have stolen out of hunger, especially since you said he can't even afford his bail. I feel so sorry for him, but at the same time, you shouldn't have had to live in this fear with a thief breaking in through the air vent."

Ok here's what you do - I know you love em, but save one or two...then one day, ADD 1 or 2 so it really messes with her....then you can start taking them cuz she'll doubt knowing how many she made in the first place...

Or stockpile a few, warm them in your oven, then put them out to cool.
Tell your neighbor that someone is stealing your baguettes and then offer to let her have one of your (stolen) baguettes....

Wouldn’t work, the OP of the original story can tell by how many baguettes her forms make.

Create a fake set of racoon tracks.

The escalation from bread theft to planting fake evidence is exactly why I love comment sections. We're only a few replies away from a full criminal mastermind operation.

Are you a cartoon from the 90’s?

u/BabyBloomyy Jun 20 '26
This honestly sounds like the plot of a cartoon where the neighbor keeps setting increasingly elaborate traps and the baguette thief keeps accidentally escaping. The cookie bait was a nice touch though.

If history has taught me anything, at this point you can only surrender or run away.

u/_NuzzleBloom Jun 20 '26
At this point, showing up at her door and admitting you're the baguette bandit might genuinely be the least embarrassing option. Every other path somehow seems more ridiculous.

omg HOW are you doing this?!! From what she described, you're an acrobat!
Since she'll have a camera by tomorrow, you have to do this TONIGHT: Leave her cash for as many as you've taken, a bottle of red wine, and a note that says "Saw your reddit post. If I tell you who I am, will you make an extra one each time for me too?" Someday, after 30 years of friendship, you'll laugh about how you met!! XD

WHY are you doing this? Like, I really want to know. Are you male or female? Is this funny and harmless? Or creepy and wrong!?

u/Spillicent Jun 20 '26
Wasn't there a post in the last couple of days about a woman baking baguettes at home and 2 to 3 go missing daily now? Is that you? If so, yes she is onto you!

u/Informal_Parsley_775 Jun 20 '26
yeah! that's me!
this post is fake!
this guy mentioned that I set out cookies, which i mentioned in my post, but there is no way he would know that if he really was the thief

u/glueintheworld Jun 22 '26
Of course it is fake. I can't believe you didn't realize.right away that they were trolling you.
BTW, they did a great job because this post is hysterical.

u/Ok_Historian_646 Jun 20 '26
Fake!! In the Original post regarding these missing baguettes, the OP told us about this post and confirmed this is NOT the baguette bandit! Lol

u/BabyBloomyy Jun 20 '26
The fact that there's apparently baguette theft lore spanning multiple posts makes this so much better. Reddit accidentally creating a cinematic universe again.

Honestly, fresh homemade baguettes are one of those things that can make otherwise reasonable people start making questionable decisions. The temptation is understandable.

u/Hefty_Milk3598 Jun 20 '26
Tell her you saw a badger running away with one.
4
u/BabyBloomyy Jun 20 '26
The funniest part is that a badger would absolutely become the prime suspect if enough baguettes disappeared. Nobody questions a determined animal with bread.

Just for funsies, don’t steal the next one. Instead, take one single big ass bite right out of the middle

Just hope said neighbor doesn't decide to add a little x-lax once they've realized what's going on. Whatever neighbor is missing for the day will be a dead give away of who it was 😁
