Thursday night, I came home late and placed my keys somewhere. Friday morning, I couldn't remember where. I searched everywhere in my room and the house and the driveway (because we use a code to enter the house, not a key), but I couldn't find them. Finally, I invited a friend over out of desperacy because I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I found my previously lost glasses and the script for my play opening this weekend.... and finally, I found my keys in my toolbag that was sitting on my closet shelf. ... I can't fathom the story behind that.
Where's a strange place you've found things you'd thought you lost?

Where's a strange place you've found things you'd thought you lost?My story actually belongs to Waterkin, so I'll quote her and maybe she'll share (come on, Waterkin, you KNOW you want to! It's a great story!)

Which one? The cell phone or the credit card? lol
So, the first time, I had the excuse of having a high fever from strep. I was putting away ice cream and stuff for my throat and I guess my cell happened to be in my hand at the same time, so it ended up in the freezer.
The problem was that I had no memory of doing this (and still don't!) so I went for a week and a half having lost my phone before Dad found it sitting with his breakfast sausage. The funny part was, the color-schemes that had been messed up actually worked better after its time in my freezer!
The second time I have no such excuse for being ill or even distracted. I had bought ice cream for me and Joy using Joy's credit card... and apparently put the card in the freezer with everything else. Now, I noticed it missing later that afternoon and panicked. I searched high and low for that thing before searching my car. I even went inside and checked the freezer just in case! When it didn't turn up, I knew I had to tell Joy that I had lost her credit card. I was all geared up and starting this long speech about how I'd screwed up and I was so sorry when she interrupts me and, cool as a cucumber says, "By the way, I found your copy of my credit card in the freezer."She'd removed the darn thing when she found it, so when I had looked there it was gone!
So that's why we always, in complete seriousness, check the freezer for anything I've lost.

"sitting with his breakfast sausage" rofl I used to be known to lose my debit card. I would have half a dozen copies of old debits cards because I would always find them after I'd given up and had the bank issue another one, or as soon as it came in the mail. One time after I'd given up, my friends and I decided to watch a movie at my place, so I reached for the popcorn on top of my refrigerator. The box felt almost empty, so I took the whole box down and grabbed the last bag-- after discovering my latest debit card was inside the 24-count box. I don't know the story of that one.

We still laugh at poor Waterkin about the freezer. Don't know what it is about that appliance that just draws her in! rofl
I've found interesting things in our laundry. Usually it's coins from my husband's pockets, but I've also found glasses, pens, pocket tissues, and my kid's jewelry (I guess the freezer isn't her only hiding place). lol

I ransacked my entire room, nitpicked the house, and cleaned out the car.... I went without my phone for three days. Then something fell between my seat and armchair in my car and the phone was there, too. wtf. I'd already cleaned it!

I'm losing my computer - not because I'm misplacing it, but it's just dying. I may be offline a while getting a new one... wish me luck!

I'm pretty good at finding my stuff even though I'm notorious for my piles. xD;; Though I've put my name badge for work in some odd places...it usually ends up being in the drawer it's supposed to be in, but somehow I've missed it the first couple of times I've looked.
Looking in our lost and found at work, it's very odd what people lose and don't come back for. We have so many coats it's not even funny. If I left a coat somewhere I'd be calling every place I'd been looking for it. Coats aren't cheap.

If I left a coat somewhere I'd be calling every place I'd been looking for it. Coats aren't cheap. I believe it. That means that either they're rich, the coats were brought from a thrift store or hand down, or they're too lazy to retrace their steps.... or they died. Of hypothermia.
