<p>My D said the best time to do laundry was early (really early) on Sunday morning. If she was having trouble sleeping, she’d get up and take care of it all. Worst times by far were Sunday afternoons and evenings. </p>
<p>One of my sisters had a number of pieces stolen from a load. She never left the laundry alone again. Funny thing was seeing her sweater on someone and having that person <em>insist</em> it wasn’t hers. Of course, when the same person was wearing another of the stolen items, it was pretty hard to deny. (I think the thief turned and ran away.)</p>
