They" keep stealing my socks, but only one at a time so that "they" can prevent me from making a match.

Throw out all your left over singles.
Go out and buy 2 dozen socks of all same kind.
If "they" steal one of a pair, you'll still have many other matching socks.

The key problem is much more insidious.
I haven't yet thought of a way to prevent "they" from moving them around on me.

"They" do the same thing with my remote controls.
I just found one which "they" hid weeks ago deep in the back of a stuffed chair.
"They" must be monitoring closely the activity in my home,
so as to be able to know to hid it, after the 16 year old who normally sits in that chair
had diligently looked in the chair for it.

I've solved this problem long ago. All my socks are white tube socks, all alike. I wear boots, so nobody ever sees the socks.....Works like a champ. I never have to turn on a light to see if I've got navy blue or black, never have to worry about matching them up. Haven't noticed a loss in the ranks, though. I guess that when I took this solution, "THEY" gave up on me and moved on to someone else.
