Time for some levity here...  I bought a beater of 3-piece T/D recurve to refinish some months ago.  I took it apart and "put it away.". For the life of me, I can't find the darn thing now!!!!!!!   

I know with all of us being hoarders in our own right, I can't be the first to do this.  Let's here some humorous stories of losing stuff like this.  It's here somewhere...

You're way too young for that to happen!!!

Maybe it wasn't you that 'lost' it. Just sayin'...
I have clothes that disappear out of my closet with alarming regularity. Nobody there these days but me and the missus.

Never lost a bow or archery stuff...that I know of...but last year I bought two pair of Permethrin treated knee socks at Cabelas with a gift card from my daughter. I KNOW I put them in a spot so I wouldn't forget to take them to the cabin.  I've looked everywhere but never saw them again. Funny, my wife just asked about them again last night.

Even further back I bought a shower valve kit to replace a leaking valve.  It came with an oval plate to cover the hole cut into the fiberglass wall to get at the valve.  Cut out an oval slightly smaller than the plate then put the kit  aside for a better time to finish it.  Still haven't found the kit or another coverplate big enough to cover the hole so the cut out piece is still taped in place.  And then the town lowered water pressure so it doesn't leak anymore.  Guess I'll have to empty out the garage someday to find the kit or come up with plan B.           

I've lost my glasses and while looking for them, discovered I was wearing them.

Happens at my age of 70:)

LOL

Just look for it in the last place you put it.  Works for me.   

Actually, just found some stakes for my turkey decoys that I put away after season last year.  Had been looking for a couple of weeks.  Found them while looking for something else.  Didn't find the other thing I was looking for though.

I moved 2 years ago and I can't find three wood arrows I made special rabbit points for. I have looked high and low. Also lost a map of a reservoir I live near that showed the lake before it was flooded. Gone. The worst was I put three choke tubes for my waterfowl gun away for safe keeping and found them 20 years later in an empty shell box.

Funny this came subject came up. I (we) were moving stuff so the man cleaning our carpets could get under the beds. I found two large wood boxes still wrapped with moving company stickers on them from 2013. One box contains old pellet guns. But the other box had 2 doz wood arrows, broadheads still in wrapper, old publication from Fred Bear Sports Club on the origin of the bow quiver plus stuff. That's 4doz woods that have surfaced in the last month! Funny thing is I don't recall making them, quit frankly they are butt ugly.

Now, that right there is funny!

Lost my favorite insulated, camo Radar cap.  Looked high ... looked low ... should have looked at my son's house in NC.  He sent me a hunting pix and sure enough ... he was wearing MY favorite insulated, camo Radar cap.  Seems he's been wearing it for the last 8 years.  Heck, it doesn't get cold enough in NC to wear an insulated, camo Radar hat.  Especially a STOLEN one!

Good Luck Son!  Love Ya!  Dad

That happens to me constantly!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. 

Lost my car once in college.  Parked with friends and walked to a party.  Friends left early.  Took me till day light to find the dang thing by myself.  Probably a good thing I couldn't find it.

I lost a bet once. But only once.

Kirk, That is an amazing gambling record you have.  Only one (1) loss.  Wondering if you'd like me to spot for ya in Vegas?  I'll bet we'd win a bunch of cash . . .

LOL.   

I come from a small town. When I was a teenager, my family and I went to a big town a few hours away to do some shopping. After we bought all we planned, we passed by a gun shop, so my father and I told my mother and my sister we would go there just for a quick peek and then take them to the jewelry store for a treat  as promised.
This was before cell phones, mind you.

We found parking,  walked to the gun shop, my dad bought something really quick... and then we realized neither of us could remember where we left the car... and the ladies.

It took us over an hour to find them. We knew shops had closed by then, and ancient words came to my mind... "Hell hath no fury..." Well, we had two of them sitting in the car, and neither of us wanted to approach them.

Boy, I started writing this post with a smile, now I feel the gloom. Think I'll call my mom and apologize again.

A few years ago I lost a set of limbs for a Morrison td. I have looked high and low and have not found them yet. My only guess is I threw them away with some bow boxes. I still have the hope that one day I will find them in the shop shoved away in a cubby hole.

Forgot to add...I don't bet unless it's a sure thing. So that one loss was pretty dismal.

Lost my Dad's duck hunting canoe when I was in high school. It was a weekend float camping trip with my buddies and there was way too much alcohol involved. Needless to say my hay bailing money from that summer went to buy him a new canoe. I have thought about it over the years and still don't know what happened to that canoe. My dad still ribs me about it now and then.
