Punkin, If he takes the birdhouses, then I know he's got space on the Mother Ship w/my xh. Mine took the hummingbird feeders and he lived in an apartment that didn't have a balcony at the time.
He's not twisted at all, this is mlc at its finest. Many of them take things that have a connection to them, but necessarily do not w/us. It is also a way of rebelling and taking things just to be taking them for a reaction out of us. I remember a long time ago, a mlcing man took the steps from the shed and didn't return them until he was back home several years later...it was reminder of what he had had prior to mlc.
In many cases, if you were to ask them why they took the stuff, the answer most likely would be because they wanted to. Most can't tell you the truth until much later in the crisis.
I know that this is difficult and frustrating and I want you to know that I've walked that same path many years ago. You aren't going to be able to figure out what he'll take next becase he won't know until he "sees" it. Moving to your new home will help alleviate this type of bs. Right now, he's just a bit off the wall and hopefully he'll leave you alone very soon.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
