Am I the only idiot that does this.
I just went out of town for the weekend and there was this oddball magazine sitting on my bench.
Hard to find, expensive etc so I figure I will just put it out of sight in the off chance some idiot breaks in and pockets it.

Two weeks later and that magazine is missing in action.
I have NO ideal where I might have thought was sufficiently ‘out of sight’.
So another episode of turning the house upside down to find the damn thing.

The worse ever was a BHP I stashed somewhere- it took me two years to find it..

I keep hoping on one of these searches I’ll find something another home owner here stashed up in the rafters.
THAT hasn’t happened yet but I’m still missing a case of 5.56 and an oddball magazine..

I do it all the time. I remember using a special tool on my Harley and when done I put it up on the shelf. A year or so later I needed to use it again and I just could not find it at all. So I bought another one. When finished using it I proceeded to put it on the shelf where I could find it again. I put it right next to the first tool I couldn’t find earlier.

10 mm wrenches are the worst tools for hiding on you. I swear I have bought like 20 of them but I can’t find one when I need it. But after I buy another one they all come out from hiding.

Done stupid crap like that myself. I lost my first 1911 for over 12 years and found it. I have lost my AR Pistol kit and not yet found it. I am 69 and have brain fog issues.

A weekly event.

I have a GREAT memory. It just doesn't last very long.

I keep all mine organized..........

I go through this more times than I'd like to admit to. I often think "if I don't put this away, I'll lose it". Sure enough, I can't remember where the devil I put it when I need it.

My bride had a habit, developed while married to her ex-husband (the deadbeat), of hiding cash in-between the pages of books. She had gone so far as telling her daughter, "when I die, don't throw or give away any books until you go through them". On the bright side, the items will show up sometime, maybe. 😆

I cannot remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday - let alone find something I put away two weeks ago. I am still looking for a Glock 20 that I have misplaced. It is here - somewhere, I just cannot find it right now. It will show up sooner or later - they always do...

 

[JD11]

All the time for me also. On a positive note, I've been known to find one or two other items I'd also misplaced while searching for the original item "A". Bad part is, when it comes to Pack-ratery, my wife's even worse.

 

[GlockLeg]

I still can't find my winter pants that I put away earlier this year.

Then again, I have family and my house gets rearranged on a regular basis.

My worst nightmare is going into the garage only to find out my bride has straightened it up. That causes several months worth of events such as this.

I once bought my wife a Christmas gift way before Christmas. I hid it away a forgot about it. Almost 3 years later, while looking for something else, I found that forgotten gift. I gave it to her then and told her the story behind the surprise gift. She still laughs about my "lack of a memory".

I do that to myself every time I clean and "organize"...........

 

[dsk]

Two weeks ago I bought some new cleaning brushes.

I still haven't figured out where the hell I put them after coming home.

 

[silverback53]

I put things in plain sight and can't find them 10 minutes later.

 

[ether]

All the time. I bought spare mags for a pistol I'd yet to acquire months before I acquired it. Once I acquired it, I couldn't find them. I was kicking myself and beating my head against the wall. A couple weeks later, I found them in the back of a safe...right before I was about to give up and buy more...smh.

 

[GOLDWINGS]

This is embarrassing.
There is a convenience store a half block away from my home. Unless the weather is awful I walk.
I drove my Jeep over one night when it was raining. I purchased the eggs and butter for the wife and headed home.
My wife looked up when I walked in and asked "Where is your Jeep?"
I said "I will be right back."😐

So no DUI on the way back? Nice

[DubfromGa]

I have two Dawson front sights that have disappeared from my possession.....or at least that what it seems like.
