I've noticed a lot of devices with missing cords too, and typically it'll be in a pattern of everything along a street will have missing cords. But I've never actually seen anyone in the act. It's not normally a problem, except when they clip off monitor video cables and the like - those are a royal pain to patch back on, and make it so not worth it to pick up a monitor like that. But AC cords aren't _that_ big of a deal, but it is kinda annoying. I do, however, tend to clip cords off vaccuum cleaners, the really beat-up, cheap junky ones that I know nobody will want. Vaccuum cleaner cords are nice and long, very flexible, and work great for test cords, speaker connections, etc. I use them frequently.
