FAQ & FICTION
What are Grabbits?
Grabbits are magical creatures that use space-time portals to hop between dimensions and take stuff.
What do Grabbits take?
Grabbits take things that haven't been put away.
What does it mean to put something away?
Putting something away means putting it in its proper place, like a bin, chest, drawer, closet, box, or spot.
How do Grabbits know an item hasn't been put away?
Grabbits have a special structure in their brain that senses when something isn't in its place.
Will Grabbits take anything that's been left out?
No. Grabbits take only things that interest them.
How long have Grabbits been around?
Unknown, but people have been leaving their things around and losing them since the dawn of time.
Can I see a Grabbit?
No. Grabbits only come when everyone is asleep.
Can I catch a Grabbit in a trap?
Unlikely. They're very sneaky, and they know all about traps.
Why don't Grabbits show up on our home security camera?
Unsure, but it appears Grabbits emit an electromagnetic frequency that confuses cameras by cloning the image a camera was recording before the portal opened and projecting an alternate timeline for the camera to capture based on that image.
Can I stay up all night to stop the Grabbits from coming?
No. Sleep is essential for human survival. The best way to keep the Grabbits from visiting is to put stuff away.
What if I have a very big toy or a project that I can't put away?
No worries. As long as the object is in its special spot, the Grabbits will ignore it.
Can I use the Grabbits to clean the house?
No. Grabbits are only interested in taking things they like, and they only like the stuff we like. In fact, the more we like it, the more they want it.
Can I get the Grabbits to steal someone else's stuff?
No. The Grabbits have evolved to recognize a trick.
So, the Grabbits are basically burglars?
No. The Grabbits don't mean to steal stuff. They just take stuff they think is unwanted.
What happens if the Grabbits take something of mine?
Good question! First, clean up so that you can be sure the item is really missing and not just misplaced, i.e. buried under other stuff. If you still can't find your thing, hunt for a chalk circle on any floor in the house, including the basement or garage. If you find the chalk ring, then the Grabbits may have struck. Don't worry. Just follow the steps in the book to persuade the Grabbits to return your stuff.
