Put out wool last night, it's still there. Put out one jam and a bolt this morning for my son to grab. Before he could even tap it, BOOM...gone by the nameless, faceless dude. WE BOTH SAW IT HAPPEN!!!! I know I'm still getting coins from IT (at least I hope, I haven't actually watched carefully enough) but still. It's SO ANNOYING!!!

Also, when I had followers, (which I don't now because I had stopped playing for 2 weeks), they were always in a BLUE coloured frame, not the caramel coloured frame that this grabber is. Followers also always had names attached. This thing doesn't..it's just an empty avatar in the caramel colour with a caramel frame.

It's getting really, really annoying to be sure!

I'm touching wood here, but he/she/thing hasn't paid me a visit in last fews days. I've filled my stalls with basic items, saws n LEM and thankfully nbrs got them


if you're neighbours unfriend you as you're unable to sell, then screw them selfish players...you're best off without. Mizmy, I'm sure they are not annoyed with u and if so, again, tough, it's their problem. They have to help themselves sometimes, you can't be their only neighbour.


ive noticed a lot of mine have gone quiet and those that were on a mission for gift cards have stopped too. Gets on my nerves, help all these ppl, just because I like to and when I have a boat or tree it's like a ghost town (not talking about my fab neighbours) yet they are filling their stalls and working on their farms etc, I don't expect it all the time but when they've been a nbr for like 9 months and not helped just once grr....ive seen quite a few of my nbrs getting annoyed with this in their farm names.


another deleting spree me thinks


anyway rant over and lets hope the thing doesn't come back, it seemed to slow down, then stop?? With all the items it's stolen, the must have the biggest barn ever!

This happened both yesterday and today on my mini-farm. No friends (except my main farm), no followers. No boat. Yesterday I was pretty sure I hadn't advertised, but thought I must have. Today I am positive I did not advertise.

what is a mini-farm?

Some people have more than one farm, I guess those lucky enough to have 2 separate devices on which to play. The second farm is often referred to as a 'helper farm'...or in MarySC's case a 'mini-farm'

wow! I can't keep up my level 46 farm as it is. Can't imagine running two farms. Reminds me of the ladies with a dozen cards at bingo. lol. Guess I am not as serious as some folks.

♥♥♥♥, I know what you mean - but the helper/mini farm will probs be in full production mode, in effect acting as that much coveted second dairy/sugar mill for the player's main farm. So you can see why such players would be particularly grumpy about the nameless ninja-shopper, you have to be quicker than a lady with a dozen bingo cards to make sure your roadside trades between farms don't get stolen

No sign of the gingerbread man for two weeks, then today, when I stocked up with lots of amazing goodies for my FRIENDS. the little monster reappears and cleans out all the best stuff in a second. I really can't believe there wasn't an advert in the paper because the last few times I've had goodies in, they've only gone to my friends. SC are you ever going to address this problem because it wasn't resolved on the most recent update.

Just been back and every last thing has gone to the mystery shopper!! I DEFINATELY didn't advertise anything!!! Grrrrr it makes me so

[Angely]

He was at my shop too, yesterday he bought all the saws and axes away that i've put up during the day. Always gone whitin seconds. I thought he was gone....but nope

[JustTrace]

Hmmm...wonder why it is now only hitting certain farms and not everyone? That's even stranger!!!!
