Not for a long time

I've just found my tortoiseshell shades, in a jacket's breast pocket!!

The other missing stuff is under your driver's seat.

The power cable for my PC is awaiting discovery from when it got moved when I cleared out the room to carpet it.

This thread is magic, I found it last night plugged into a wall socket under a standing lamp! The power of @Accy cyclist and his nonsense threads...

I've also found one of my Abus Bordos & the spare key for it too. Marvellous

My best wire cutters and a pair of ancient, pointy nosed pliers that probably belonged to my grandad originally ~ I suspect I know what happened to them.... We've had hens for many years, not free range but in a big pen, a bit like a large aviary. Well, being in the sticks and not far from a couple of farms we frequently get these little fellows 🐀 in the chuck pen. They don't bother me, they're only wildlife after all, not dirty, towny sewer rats that live on a diet of discarded kebabs and sweetcorn, but they don't half do some damage, digging holes in the pen and nicking the chucks food through the night. I've despatched countless numbers of the little buggers over the years (free crow food), but I recently decided enough was enough and put a layer of aviary mesh about a foot down in the chuck pen, to totally preclude access for Roland and his mates. However, they were still getting in! So, after covering a few small holes I'd not spotted previously (in the roof mesh panels around the shed window ironically) it was finally rat proof. It was during this last bit of snagging that my wire cutters and pliers went missing, I've never seen them since and I'm pretty sure that whilst in there the chucks had buggered off with them (they're worse than cats for that sort of thing). So I wait, and keep looking in the pen to see if they turn up, but to no avail yet! They'll get dug back up eventually .

I'm surprised the chooks could pick up something that heavy. We kept chickens for a year or two in our last house.

They generally just scrat stuff about to be fair, but they're good at burying things so anything left in there for any length of time will disappear. Having seen them demolish a raw turnip as well they can be surprising destructive and can give a nasty peck during egg collecting.

Absolutely. I wasn't thinking of them just burying the tools, but yes that is very possible.

I've lost a pair of nail clippers somewhere in my kitchen. I used them the other night, but when I found the case for them a day later it was empty. I've looked around where I've probably lost them, but no sign so far. I only bought them a month ago after the last pair snapped in half after must've been decades of service. I'm stressing over such a trivial thing as I'm sure they'll turn up before I have to cut my nails again, but I just have to find them to stop me stressing over them.🙄 😉

I've also lost an orange, paisley silk tie, which disappeared over a month ago. I'm not stressing over that as much as the nail clippers as I have many ties, but it's still bugging me wondering where it is! 🤔

I've lost, I say I've lost, I knew exactly where they were until our lass "tidied" the garage. I've lost the nuts and bolts for the garden table, looked everywhere for them, no doubt they'll turn up when the summer is over and I've dragged the table top back into the shed.
