The things people lose!
Just seen on a local FB group for my town that somebody's mate had lost a bag with about 50 (work) keys inside!It just got me wondering...how on earth do people manage it, to lose possessions the way they do? They leave valuables on public transport, like laptops, mobile. Or a bag of shopping. I get off a train or bus and do a head count...'bag, bag, coat, fleece...'
Another post has someone saying they've found an iPhone on the road, though luckily the owner may have been traced (which is one excellent thing about this local group!).
I can understand the posts where a child has lost a scooter, or a favourite toy, because even I left a scooter outside a shop as a child, went back for it and it had gone. But adults being so careless?
Do you lose stuff, outside of the home? Have you?

I lost my best reading glasses when I left them on a table in a pub. When I went back the next day they weren't there.I've left numerous umbrella's on buses.
I lost my mobile phone once but luckily it was found in the car park of our leisure centre.
The worst was when I lost my house & car keys. I thought there was no hope of getting them back and then one day came a knock on the door. 'Have you lost your keys' a woman asked me. She'd found them down the lane at the side of our house and knocked on all the doors. My door was the last she tried. Phew talk about lucky.

A serial loser of phones.I regularly lose my car keys in and out of my house.
Only a couple of weeks back I lost them and couldn't get my van off the drive as the car was parked behind it.....I was vehicleless for 2 days until I found them hiding on my desk.

Once, a pair of new walking boots .....
Luckily, I wasn't in them or I wouldn't be here to tell the tale .....
I must have changed out of them, after a walk, into a pair of driving shoes, leaving them at the side of the car then driving off without them .....
Weirdly, I don't remember when, where or why I didn't notice their absence when I arrived home ( I always clean my walking boots ASAP) - maybe I was just too tired that day .....
It was only weeks later that I couldn't find them .....

Left my car once forgot I'd driven to the shops and walked back, it was only later when my husband asked where it was I remembered.Left my bag of washing from work 28 tea towels and cloths, luckily they turned up next day I'd put them down as I signed out at work and security guard put them behind the desk for me.
Knitting needle size 11 never have found that was knitting one evening went to bed got up next day and it was missing.
Purse I put it down to try on a pair of boots in a charity shop, decided not to buy them and left the shop, when I realised in the post office and dashed back it was over course gone.
But my sister beats me hands down she forgot her baby tasha, took her to the shops and left her in a car seat carrier behind the crisps aisle. When she got home I went mad at her. Luckily the shop keeper had been lovely and kept her giggling so she didn't realise anything had happened.

I once left my new born Son outside a shop, went home with shopping, opened the front door, something missing. Slammed front door left groceries on floor, rushed back to shops. He was still fast asleep in his pram. I was very lucky anyone could have taken him.
