Most expensive thing is a 300.00 key for my truck. I do it all the time with things. I couldn’t find the tool for anti theft lug nuts for my boat this morning.I had it, but I put it somewhere safe. I drove an 11/16 socket on the lug, was able to get them loose, threw them away.

What do you have in a safe place that you can’t find?? I’m still looking for my Dodge key. It’s here somewhere.

I got a really nice bottle of bourbon somewhere. I don't know where I hid it.

I got the big pot and steamer insert out tonight to steam a couple of ears of corn. Filled pot, put in steamer, put in corn. Couldn't find the lid, which I thought had come out of the cupboard with the pot and steamer.








After looking through cupboards and dishwasher and other likely places, I found it......................







on top of the coffee maker where I had set it while filling the pot.


I'll not even go into things I put in a "safe place"

Safety deposit box key. Drove me absolutely nuts. I NEVER misplace anything like that!

Seven years it rode in the ashtray of my old hunting truck. Until one day I was looking for earplugs and would ya looky there!!

My mind.

Couldn’t find the Saleen keys high or low so I went and got the spare set. Went outside to lock the shop before leaving and there the originals were on my workbench . They’d been there about a week.

Fuggin hell.

I lost a $20,000 tele-handler for 3 days one time til I remembered what job it was on. Misplace trailers and dump trucks all the time. Usually, a day or so I find them.

I've done that. I've also lost a tool I was using and hadn't even left the room.
My wife has a mind control trick she plays on me. I open the cupboard and look for something. Get frustrated and close the cupboard. She walks in, opens the cupboard and what I was looking for is front and center. Damn near glowing. Not sure how she does it.

Yes, but I don’t remember what it is.

At my house it's the other way around.

Same here. Put away the fob for my 2019 silverado. Did that when I bought it new. Now I can’t find it.

How did you know, my rangefinder!

Mine puts stuff in a different cupboard constantly. Never know where anything is going to be, it's like a big adventure! Hey, where's the 1.5qt sauce pan today, yahoo

A friend of mine hid the cylinder to his single action Colt 357 so his grandkids couldn't use his gun if they found it. When he needed it he couldn't find it so he had to order another one. The day after the new one was delivered his wife found the original right where he put it, in a tea cup.

Came out of Sportsmans ware house one day, could not find my Dodge Ram truck. Running around like crazy, going ape $hit, and getting ready to report it as stolen!
Then it dawned on me I was driving my wifes mini cooper that day!! Found it.
.

I quit drinking more than a few years ago..... and a the time I had a a big fat bag of weed. I thought it best to stop smoking weed too... as I'm sure it would lead me back to the bottle.... onto the straight and narrow...

And it worked... once I quit all that stuff... my life was so much better.

40 years later...... I'm adding yeast to large jars of fruit juice.... I'm looking around the farm for where I hid that stash....

Neil Diamond concert tickets from the eighties....never did find them.

Any time i look for something i put in a safe place and can't find i just ask the wife.

Because odds are she has moved it.

This. And anytime I have to clean a space out, it's Christmas!!!!



Quantum Theory. It was there all along, your perception and it's state of matter/energy just weren't in sync.

Years ago when they banned sound inhibitors in New South Wales I hid one in a safe place at one of my old homes, I distinctly remember saying "this is the greatest hiding place ever".

Apparently I was right.

I wonder if anyone ever found it.

A guy from The Great Down Under told me about a very good brand of steels for sharpening knives.

I wrote it down and got a lil extra cash and was gonna buy one.

Still can’t find the name of the Steel.........wonder if JSTUART will tell me again...

Uncle lost all his fencing tools. Kept everything in a bucket.
Asked him where the last place he mended fence was, Went up in that field, and there in the corner was the bucket, full of red water, everything rusted up tight. Been up there a year or so.

Lol, my wife calls it Man Looking.

My dad never forgets or loses anything. Usually.

My wife got him a tube of lube for his meat slicer, he "put it up".


Went a year until he needed it, turned the house upside down, sick and mad.

Wife gave him another one day when we were there, he said "I'll put this one up
and not lose it".


Yep, when we got home he called, "guess what was right were I was going to put this tube"!


Friends wife lost one of the remote fob programmed keys to her car.
Key, programming, programming other key...$300 or so.
Next day she found the lost one.
Only it won't work now, since they changed everything programming the replacement.

The Gentleman's name is Jim Leetham, from Deniliquin NSW.

Thank you Young Lad........hope you are doing well........building a Mauser Myself.

Stuck a Remington 870 police model in the kitchen island once when life was a bit more sporty. Months went by, I went to look for it and could not remember where I had put it. Started wondering if someone had stolen it, but they took nothing else so that didn’t add up. Finally found it when I was moving about a year later. Always wondered if I would have remembered it was there if I needed it.

I have a S&W Model 35 somewhere. They are fairly rare, not that I could sell it, because I can't find it.

Many.

I found a Ford once... when I was cutting the back yard.

Wherever it is, it’ll be in the last place you look 😮

My suspenders. People are going to start calling me Phil MaCrackin.

A fellow gave me 200 or so 375 H&H once fired brass that I very carefully put away some place safe and secure. . I always wanted a 375 H&H. I lucked into a 500 250, maybe 270 grain bullets, I know exactly where those bullets are. I already was working with a 375 Whelen, I had worked up my loads for that rifle using cast bullets. Those loads proved accurate, no leading, with great penetration. I may need to use the jacked bullets for playing with the 375 Whelen. Any way I have yet to find the 375 H&H brass over the past 20 or so years.

LOL!! When I moved into this house, I was mowing a tall patch of weeds in the backyard when - BAM! - I hit a pile of pistons.

My wedding ring....

If you don' want lose the most valuable "thing", put her up on a pedestal. .

I hid the second set of keys for my safe room 14 years ago. Still looking! Must have been a good hiding spot!

Too numerous to mention, they usually turn up.

Used my Zeiss 10x40 Classics all through archery season a few years back but they were nowhere to be found for the rifle opener. Ended up going out opening weekend without them and assumed I left them on a hillside somewhere so bought a new pair of Minox from Camerland to finish the season. As soon as the season closed, I found the Zeiss' on the top shelf of my safe buried under some stuff...

A few months ago, my wife couldn't find her glasses. She frantically searched every part of the house, including my office, which she never enters, to no avail. She finally asked me to help her in her search, at which point I had to tell her that her glasses were perched on her head. Oops.

the funniest time was when I was tuning my charger for the drag races the next day, was trying to find my 9/16th socket, I was accusing my kids and wife of taking it. I got pissed off and threw the ratchet in my hand down, and there it was in my hand the whole time.

Found a new in box glock 19 in my safe 2 years ago that I didn’t even know I owned about 2 weeks after I bought a new glock 19! It was a bad day!

Also found a zeiss conquest 3-9x40 in box I had no clue I owned. Amazing what you buy and forget about sometimes

The 40 power lens to my old Bushnell spotting scope. I can't see the bullet impacts a 100 yards with my 20 power lens so I'm always on the 50 yard.

"I’m still looking for my Dodge key."

I always have an extra key hidden on my vehicle in case I lock my keys in my truck. I locked my keys in my truck one day and my hidden key was gone. Luckily I was at home key and had another key. I found my lost key and magnetic box in my center console 6 months later.

I had a safe deposit box with 2 keys so I gave the extra key to sister in case I lost my key. I moved 10 years later and decided to find another safe deposit closer to home. I went to empty my safe deposit box and none the keys I had would open it. I called my sister and she had lost the other key. It cost me $80 to the lock drilled out.

I can be working on some project and lay a tool or part down on the bench. A little later I cant find it to save me. Come back later in the day and there it is, right in front of me exactly where I left it.

Sometimes I have to get my wife to help me after I have searched and searched for something, usually takes her a few seconds to pick it up and say "is this what you want?".

Misplaced an Indian Head penny........

can't find that thing to save my ______

think it was 1877

Lots of stuff but i cant remember any specifically. Ill think of something when i need to go get it and cant remember where i put it - again - in a little while.

My truck. Twice.

The first time I was on campus up at Portland State University for some training and parked in one of their parking garages. My truck was on the 3rd level. What I didn't realize was the ground outside was sloped and when I went back in a different way, the third floor was no longer the third floor, I was looking a floor lower than where I parked. I was sure the SOB had been stolen. I wanted nothing more than to leave Portland behind and my way out was missing. Most upset.

The second time I was at University of Oregon where I worked for a few years. I'd moved in close to campus so usually I walked. One morning I'd gone for a run and twisted my knee so drove to work. Forgot and walked home in the afternoon. My truck was not in the parking spot where it should have been so I called it in stolen. Took me probably an hour to figure out what had happened. Fortunately the police had a laugh at my expense rather than citing me for a false report.

And my jeep once.

I'd gone to call coyotes in the snow, about 4-6 inches. Jeep was dark green. I parked under a snow covered evergreen. Plan was to walk a half mile straight away from the road, turn 90 degrees, walk a half mile, turn 90 degrees, walk a half mile (back to the road), turn 90 degrees, then walk the half mile back along the road. No problem. Except I turned about 120 degrees each time instead of 90 degrees and walked right by where I'd hidden the jeep without seeing it. I saw my own footprints but forgot that I'd switched from Vibram to "bob" soles so I didn't realize I was following myself 'til I found where I'd stepped around the end of a log and found some very familiar looking yellow snow where I'd stopped to take a piss.
