Plumbers possibly stole something anything I should do?

Plumbers possibly stole something anything I should do?

Had the house repiped a couple months ago. There is an attic access point in the closet in my office. Nobody ever goes in my office other than me. The plumbers were in there alone for attic access.

My office is themed as though it is Indiana Jones’ office. I have a bunch of adventure-y type things in there including authentic ancient artifacts and tools and such. It’s supposed to be as though it is Indiana Jones’ office from the 1930s.

Anywho, I had a 4,000 year-old terracotta bust on the bookshelf and it’s not there anymore. I have a bunch of artifacts in there so I didn’t notice it missing until now.

I can’t prove the plumbers took it but nobody else ever goes in that office and it is definitely missing now.

Any thoughts on what, if anything, I can or should do about this situation?

Richard Nixon's?

Nah. Those guys were dumber than real plumbers. Most of them didn't even realize sewage ran downhill.


Some years ago, a plumber told me there were two basic rules:

1) Water always flows downhill
2) It ain't all water

The first plumber I ever had to call told me the only two things you had to know to be a plumber were:

1) Sewage flows downhill.
2) Payday is Friday.


Shit runs downhill
Payday is Friday
Don't bite your nails.

I had clearly looked and couldn’t find it. It was sort of tucked behind the large chair I have in the corner where I didn’t think to look since it was a few feet from the bookshelf.

I even searched bins and boxes in the garage thinking I may have packed it up and forgot I had done so.

But hey, thanks for your condescending ignorant take.

If it had been a snake, it would have bit you!

That would sound far more embarrassing in my mother's voice. But snakes fit the theme of the day, so I did the best I could.


perhaps the plummers decided you needed more adventure and hid your crystal skull


Did the plumbers use a snake???

I assume this must be some sort of twisted joke. You’ve crossed a line, sir.


Ive always wanted a 'Jock', and his pet snake Reggie, origin story...

I've never seen it either and on principle probably never will.


What is the principle?


Principle?
Because comic book


My wife will never see a Tom Cruise movie because she finds him repugnant. Maybe Aqua has a thing for Harrison Ford.

I assume the principle is they don’t like amazing movies.


perhaps he was going to watch it until he found out indy was anti-plumbite
