The mystery of the vanishing watering can

About five years after loosing an expensive designer tie pin while away on holiday I found it.
By this time my husband had been dead for about three years.
I was buying a new car and the old car was about to be taken away on a low loader. As I sat in the driver's seat for the last time I looked to my left and there, on the passenger seat was the tie pin. Don't ask me where it came from because I don't know.
I was speachless with emotion!!

We only found our watering can when we went to rotate a pot BTW. Otherwise it would probably still be there.

Dh put the phone charger in his overnight bag when we went away.
Can’t find it anywhere!
Bought another one yesterday. But where the heck is the other one!

A camera disappeared one Christmas. 6 months later it was found down the side of the sofas cushion.🤯

Our watering can went missing too - for about 10 days and from our front drive singingnutty. We decided it must have been stolen... but no, it was tucked between big flowerpots where the foliage had disguised it as it was a green recycled plastic one!

I seem to remember another thread about a vanishing jug a while ago...

It's funny how things seem to vanish when we need them most. I once spent ages looking for my garden gloves only to find them in the compost bin where I'd absentmindedly tossed them after cleaning up. I hope your watering can turns up somewhere unexpected; sometimes a break and a fresh pair of eyes makes all the difference!

We've lost the (very comfortable) cushions that go on our garden chairs.
Searched high & low - no sign of them !

My best loss/find was my 18 carat signet ring which I lost when DH was very ill, dying. I was terribly sad as it had been a 21st birthday present from my godfather, but decided that it was really trivial in the greater scheme of things.
About a year later, I found it when emptying the freezer to move house! I as very happy together it back.
Perhaps it’s a poltergeist? I have found dressmaking pins in my bed and in the shower…

Unless I store my shoes in the original shoe box or in a plastic shoe box - one of them will disappear never to be found again .
It first happened about thirty plus years ago with a lovely pair of red leather shoes .
Now it happens regularly .
Tidying up yesterday - I found that there is one missing slipper and one missing boot .

Before my Mum was diagnosed with dementia, (but perhaps there were signs) she got new curtains delivered and unpacked them ready to hang. Then they somehow went missing. We all searched the house from top to bottom, but they were nowhere to be found.
At the same time, my Mum had had carpet cleaners in, and my Mum had given them cups of tea and biscuits and chatted with them as she always does with tradespeople, getting their life stories and woes. She learned that one of them had a son who was getting married, but he didn't know what to give the couple as a wedding gift. Apparently, he wanted it to be something nice, but he didn't have a lot of money to spare. (Yes, our alarm bells were ringing at that too!)
So Mum concluded that the carpet cleaner must have taken the curtains as a wedding present for his son. Privately, we were sceptical - I mean, curtains as a wedding present? But anyway, it was a story that meant we could stop looking for them.
In the summer, the next year, we found the curtains, in their opened wrapping, outside in a garden seat that was also a storage chest. How did they get there? No-one knows. By the time they were found, my Mum had got new curtains.

I've lost a double duvet cover. The matching pillow cases are in the airing cupboard but there's no sign of the duvet cover.
I'm at a loss to know where else I might have put it.
Your watering can isn't in the car is it?

I never did find the gate I had taken off its hinges ready for painting. Went to get the paint and returned to an empty space. I think the scrap metal van must have passed along the road.

Hope you find your watering can.

This week I heard of a local lady who, while she was clearing an outside area put a little outdoor cat house on her drive, but between their parked cars.
The little house was away from the end of the drive, so clearly not intended to be 'given away '.
When this lady had finished her task the cat house was gone. Not seen since.

It couldn't be behind the sofa, or in the fridge which is a good place usually to look for lost things!

Have you checked behind the sofa?😄
Looks like you have a local thief unfortunately.
