Lost

[Ellis Kinney]

If someone gave you a box of stuff you lost over the years, what would you look for first in the box? Ellis

My mind!

My first jack knife.

 

[JF in MI]

I'd look for the $100k I left in it and if it wasn't there ask them what they did with it and ask to have it back.

 

[Barts Dad]

A jack knife my Grandpa gave me for my 10th (Golden) Birthday.

The box would have to be the size of a two ton box truck and I wouldn't be able to crawl up to look. My memory is so short now that I wouldn't then know if it was one time mine.

After my surprise, I think the old memories associated with the items and the faces that went with them. Grand Pas, Grand Mas, Mom, Dad, brother, and all the long gone true friends.
Had that happen today, found a couple of old business cards when I worked for John Smith Chevrolet, a dealer here in Atlanta. On the back were old phone numbers from long gone friends. Cards had to be at least 35 years old.

That would depend on weather it was lost intentionally or accidentally.

I'd need to be really careful with that one. There might be a good reason that whatever I wanted the most had been lost, eh?

Box is a metaphor, right? It's like gonna take a barge just to choose from. Hopefully my first girlfriend is near the top. lol

:lol:

My homemade test light. Except I didn't really lose it. I left it under the dash of a car I was working on. That car has probably been shredded, sent to China, and has come back as a Kia or something.

A hand full of 3/4" sockets, 3/8 and 1/2 drives. gm

 

[rossow (mn)]

My $145 gunsmith tap and die set. It somehow got buried somewhere in my shop or shed or garage and has been gone for years. I need to clean up.

 

[Ellis Kinney]

I would look for the boy's hatchet my father gave me. I lost it helping him plant trees when I was about 10 years old. Spent a year off and on trying to fine it. Ellis

 

[Billy Shafer]

I agree.

 

[Brian Dan]

Spare set of keys for my truck! set them down some place at home about 4 years ago and haven't found them yet.

It would be a small box. I have been lucky that way however I do try and keep track of stuff. I do lose things but usually they show up at some point, sometimes months or even years later I find where I left it. That isn't the case with an index with taps and tap drills for fine threads. I had one at work and one at home and shortly after I retired almost 6 years ago one set disappeared. Keep expecting it to show up but not yet, I am beginning to think it won't. I had a micrometer and multi meter stolen at work, but those probably don't count here because I didn't lose them, they were stolen.

Toys I had as a kid. (at least that's one category)

 

[Mark-Mi]

Snap On 15/16 impact deep socket 1/2 inch drive.

 

[Goneranchin]

How come that is that way got 487 loose sockets of every shape size known to man after looking through every tool I own do you think for one minute I could find a 10mm socket God Forbid!! Man that is just a cold hard cruel joke.
