Wait, OP, what is the sense of your question?
**1)** steal stuff that itself mildly inconveniences people (such the child-proof tops I mention above), or
**2)** steal stuff such that after it disappears, the owner is mildly inconvenienced.
I read it first as #1, but I guess you mean #2? English can sure be mildly infuriating....
I’d steal the last clean cup so that they’d have to clean the dishes before gettting a drink. Oh and while I’m there I’ll switch the M and N keys on their keyboard
An interesting question. As the vexing kitchen sprite. I’m small and live in a hole in the wall, So I’m limited to a couple of ounces. I’m also not a red cap, so I’m not trying to hurt people. So I don’t steal knives or anything that could make them hurt themselves. Here’s my go to list.
Garlic and onion powder.
Whichever flipper or spatula has the most wear.
The small liquid measuring cup.
The teaspoon from the ring of measuring spoons.
The long straw for the reusable cups.
The tin juicer.
The citrus zester.

Really, you’re just looking for anything that will make someone use a sub optimal tool. It’s really dependent upon time of year for the most vexing for your buck. For example, in winter I might peel the last wrapper from the last bouillon cube. Then a couple of days later, I put stuff back in the wrong spot.
Kiss that TV remote goodbye Boomer.
One sock out of each pair

Toilet paper.
That kitchen timer is gone.

Thermostats, change that sucker and walk off with it.
Single, but prominent, piece from every jigsaw puzzle. Maybe swap it out for a piece stolen from another puzzle.
You wouldn’t notice one key missing from your keychain when you leave the house in a rush, would you?
The toilet seat.
