Now here’s a puzzle

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.

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.

Gosh, Bluebelle, you must be The Bird Whisperer 🥰

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

I haven't forgotten about your seagulls either BlueBelle

Sandrina you remembered

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

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

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

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.🤷‍♀️

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?

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

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?

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..

Is there an open window or open door nearby? Dropped by a magpie?

Or tucked away in the folds and crevices of the wrapping from a pack of toilet paper?

Many years ago one of my friends found an earring on her bedroom floor that she knew wasn't hers. To cut a long story short, that was the first inkling she had of "the affair". Her husband rapidly became her ex-husband and they eventually divorced. She was well rid of him!

Blue it was for pierced eras but a hook not a push thru
No cat or dog or any other pets scribbles
No partner or husband AGA
Love your story Aldom
Oreo stuff does move but this isn’t mine it’s very pretty but not mine

Oh Oreo and Aldom - these really are mysteries!

As AGAA4 says there must be a logical explanation but I certainly can't think of anything that can explain these happenings!

Stuff moves! 😬
Some time ago I dropped a silver necklace/ pendant on the carpet in the bedroom by my feet…I felt it on my bare foot, bent down to retrieve it and it wasn’t there.
Searched the whole bedroom including DP moving the bed.
Gone!
I thought we must find it when we had new carpet fitted in the bedroom when all furniture was out, but no luck.
Silver with a pearl set in the pendant so if anyone finds it in their larder or on a mantelpiece it’s mine.

I've lost an earring before and then found it in my bra after spending ages looking for it on the floor.

Could it have been brought in attached to your shoe somehow.

If you had a DH or partner this would arouse suspicion and he would be innocent.

I love a mystery such as this!
Bluebelle was the earring for pierced ears and did it have the back piece attached?

Do you have a cat or a dog who could have found the earring and brought it indoors as a little gift for you?

Yes, there’s is always a logical explanation but I always want to find it 😂Fallingstar
I very, very rarely have visitors and only me uses the downstairs loo, so not that one.
I don’t really buy the caught on your clothes one, but obviously could be by a long stretch, because normally I go straight upstairs from work and change.
I think it’s much more likely that it belongs to Cossy
🤣🤣
Isn’t it interesting how these obscure things happen
Who else has a lost / found mystery ?

There is always a logical explanation but sometimes you never find out what it is.
