I've misplaced just about everything; wallet, car keys (found 'em in the fridge), glasses, jacket, and even my truck once. But a gun? Nog nooit. Never. But I am glad you found yours.Years ago a friend needed money so I bought this gun.

I planned to sell it but after shooting it I grew fond of this little gun. Hell I am anything 1911 anyway. My wife is a cancer patient and like many one step forward and two back. Kathy was in rehab about 4 years ago so it was myself, Pilgrim and Charlotte and the latter being the dogs. I kept that gun handy on a coffee table as I was sleeping on a living room couch. During the days when I was out I normally just put the gun out of sight under a couch cushion. One evening I had a friend over and we enjoyed some fine bourbon. I apparently decided to put away the gun. Next morning before going to rehab to see Kathy I wondered where the damn gun was? Looked in all my super secret stash places and no gun. What the? For weeks I searched and never found the gun. Did bourbon on the rocks take away my memory? The gun had to be here somewhere, the infamous somewhere. I never found it. I replaced it since I liked it so much.
Fast forward about 4 years. My sister Cindy volunteered to come up here and hang out with Kathy for a few weeks so I could escape home health care for a few weeks. I have friends in Florida I haven't seen in years and Florida is a nice change from NE Ohio in December so I was out of here. Cindy wanted pictures of palm trees which I had not done yet. Then I get a text from Cindy with a picture of the gun and I knew it was not the replacement as all guns were secured in my safe and neither Cindy or Kathy could get to them. She was holding it captive till I sent palm tree pictures. Started sending plenty of palm tree pictures real fast. Cindy likes to clen and she was cleaning a closet in the laundry room and under old supermarket bags on the closet floor she found the gun. Kathy told her the story. Was nice to get home and also see that gun of which I now have a pair. Go figure.
Anyone else ever misplace a gun?

I "misplaced" a 20" Colt SP1 once. I forgot that I reorganized one of the safes and the SP1 was moved from its location to another spot. I opened the safe, wanting to grab the rifle to go shooting and it wasn't in its usual spot. Because I forgot, it got rotated to the back of the safe to make more room. And of course, I forgot that. So, I spent a month basically digging through the house. Until I finally just grabbed a flashlight and looked intot he back of the safe.Years ago a friend needed money so I bought this gun.

Was in an Armored Cavalry Regt. in the field years ago. We were preparing a defensive position and one of the BAR men was assigned a field of fire & told to set up and camouflage his position. He gathered some foliage and covered his BAR, went for more foliage and couldn't find his rifle! Did I mention, he is very good at camouflage? Most of the company spent an hour or so locating his BAR.
Yep, and now I have two of that one.That is one of natures unwritten rules. The other sure way to find it is to buy another.
Nope.Anyone else ever misplace a gun?

Magic?Neither I nor my wife had put it there. How did it get there?
Laundry fairyies they do that to me quite often!I experienced another one of those "incidents" today.
Several days ago, I washed the linen from our bed. I put the fitted sheet, the top sheet, and 5 pillowcases in the washer. When the load was done, I put the damp laundry in the dryer. When it was dry, I took it out to put back on the bed, and my wife joined in to help. We found only 4 pillowcases; one was missing. We looked in the washer and dryer, and under the sheets, and couldn't find it.
Today, I decided to put away the clothes from a basket full of clean laundry I'd washed several days before washing the linen. That basket was completely full. When I got to the bottom, there, neatly folded in half, was the missing pillowcase! Neither I nor my wife had put it there. How did it get there?
Yeah, they normally go after socks but occasionally make the move on pillow cases.Laundry fairyies they do that to me quite often!
