Now here’s a puzzle

one day a few years ago, I drove my OH to the hospital ,before he left he noticed that his ring was missing from his finger, we looked everywhere, even the other patients in the waiting room were searching for it, but never found it. we got back to where we parked the car looked all around, and under the car, the inside, pushed back the seats,it wasn't there.2 or 3 days later I was hoovering the bedroom and moved the bed and there was his ring,under the bed. he had never even had it at the hospital..

I remember an aunt telling us that she had left her door ajar when she came in and went upstairs. When she came down she found a woman sitting in her kitchen. She said she needed a sit down. .
Could this have happened? Someone has found the door ajar and come in?

Hello Bluebell. I have a similar mystery.
While on holiday in Dorset in the year 2000 my husband lost an expensive tie pin. We assumed it had fallen through the boarded floor of the bedroom we had slept in.
About five years later my husband died.
Eighteen months after his death I decided to buy a new car.
As I sat in the driver's seat of our car for the last time I glanced at the passenger seat.
There, right in the centre of the seat was the *tie pin!!*

Aldom, that is very strange, I think that was a message

BlueBell: those push through "shepherd's crook" earrings are just the type to get caught on a scarf, cardigan or coat. I lost a lovely pearl earring like that when I was wearing a wide scarf whilst out in the winter, they get nudged out of one's ear and drop to the ground. I suppose it is possible that you might get one caught on your clothing if you'd been on public transport?

I wear a silver necklace that has a small silver tree that slides on to the chain. One day I noticed the tree was gone, how it came off I’ll never know.The chain was intact and there was no way the charm could have come off unless I had taken the entire necklace off which I had not.Anyway, I forgot all about it and the chain was left in the jewellery box. Some weeks later, I happened to glance down on the wood deck by the back door of my house and there was my little silver tree.🤷‍♀️

Or...maybe........

Cyril or Cecil stopped by to thank you with a gift 🐦 😂

I think it had become embedded in your shoe and fell off at a later date.

Sandrina you remembered

I haven't forgotten about your seagulls either BlueBelle

How lovely I haven’t had one down the chimney for a couple of years, but I still feed my babies (and mums and dads) and I now have a very friendly female blackbird who walks right up to me very quietly, but very boldly, so she has those dried worms thingies and a flattish bowl of water amongst my wildish garden

Gosh, Bluebelle, you must be The Bird Whisperer 🥰

DH lost a very small silver coloured radiator from a model kit of a car that he was making. We searched everywhere even the vacuum cleaner. Three days later he was sitting in his chair and saw it on the floor in front of him, it had got stuck in the sole of his slipper and chose that time to fall out, it really was very small, you could just about see it on the floor.

Did you have a window open there? Possibly a magpie or jay could have dropped it , as they are definitely bold thieves and not deterred from coming into a house? My mother lost a precious ring like that, when she was in the bathroom, getting washed and had taken her ring off to stop it getting wet etc and unfortunately had put it on the window ledge, when suddenly a jay flashed in and out in a moment and was off with it. I remember her shouting to us and we rushed outside to see where the bird went and chased after it but no luck.
