I have a siding tool the fell into to the Hosta plants.

Not a problem.

Frost is coming soon.

After the plants are dead and gone, I'm sure I'll find it.

Next spring biggrin

 I have to correct myself.

Yesterday, I was in my small tool box where thing like wood chisels are stored.

And there was, the missing siding tool.

Right where it was supposed to be.

So, I did put it away properly.

The scary part is that I don't remember doing that.

My favourite 9/16" wrench has been AWOL for about 2 weeks. Simply vanished...

I dropped a nice Estwing hammer in a tight wall space beside the chimney in our old house. It fell down about 4 feet and was not retrievable.cry

About 8 years later, I had to demo an adjoining wall, and saw the hammer still there (I forgot all about it in the meantime ). I scuffed up my knuckles against the chimney brick, but I finally got it out! Now I have 2 nice Estwing hammers!no

My Missing Yellow Carpenters hammer came back to visit, LOL. Found sitting in the drawer where my body shop hammers live.
Somebody put away in the wrong spot. Not sure who did that..

It was that time again. Scattered between 2 garages and 3 vehicles but they all were found

I'll have to chime in and say that I've lent out tools exactly 3 times in 40+ years and 2 of those were never returned. It has been my policy ever since I was an apprentice to never lend tools.. I even have the sign...I can remember walking around a shop I worked at as a kid cursing about my 10 mm and where it went.....I was holding it LOL

 A year later, it's never come home. I lost it working on a CP member's car. I still accuse his car of stealing my wrench every time I see the car....

Don't usually lend stuff out either, but working for a Dealership it is sometime necessary. Sometime sales people ask to borrow, I ask if if can borrow
their wallet, they look at me funny and ask why. LOL. They don't ask anymore.
