Well, overall, you have to look at the end result. If something is disruptive, destructive or stressful, with no obvious beneficial result, it could be seen to be "bad", or negative. You should, however, temper your judgment with an honest look at your own emotions and habits and state of mind.
You say things have been crazy lately - if you are referring to other things in your life *besides* whatever is going on with things disappearing, then you have to admit at least some of your "disappearing" items are simply misplaced. If you have animals or a good number of people in your home regularly, you have to consider the possibility that the items have been moved by all too mundane "forces", for whatever reason.
I'm not qualified to comment on the idea of a djinn, on the statement's own level of apparent context or belief system, but very few others (possibly no other people, in reality) are either, as with any paranormal explanation, so do keep that in mind also, and naturally your own belief systems will have to be your guide on these sorts of questions. Do also acknowledge that even our experts in many fields, are not experts in others, and most of us who are experts in essentially no fields, are rarely able to identify or explain many things that may appear mind-boggling, but which for others, are well-known natural occurrences, either of the outside world, or the human condition.
If you're familiar with the less spiritual and more pragmatic (sort of) idea of poltergeists, you may be aware of the hypothesis of poltergeists being what has been termed Recurrent Spontaneous Psychokinesis, or RSPK, which is basically someone's errant psi manifestations "leaking" out without their intent - not an entity at all, just a malfunction, though one that can sometimes seem to function like an erratically programmed robot. We can only take at face value your guess as to the nature of the phenomenon (if any) you're experiencing, but a poltergeist of the more scientific variety could be in keeping with your descriptions, but I would urge you to do a little more work on your side as a service to yourself.
To help put and keep things in perspective, when anything unusual happens, and though it is less important now that it is past, recall what you can of your previous experiences lately, and write down as many of the details as you can remember, and keep that "logbook" somewhere CONSISTENTLY - always in the drawer next to the fridge, etc. Make sure you make this book or tablet something you deliberately keep good track of, and don't just lay down idly. This will allow you to go over your own situation and look at the depth and nature of exactly what is going on, and if you can see any patterns or other helpful information that may appear as you're able to get a "big picture" view of what seems like a chaotic jumble right now. Being able to put everything down in one spot and take stock of really does wonders, even if it is only to document the events, if you feel you need to give an in-depth account to others who are willing to also examine your claims.
