:BangHead: :realcrazy::thankyou::lol:Here's what happened , I think .
Went up to MO on our roadtrip last month. Made a few stops along the way. Buying and selling parts. Had my 2 wheel dolly with us. Been home for a couple weeks, and I'm looking for my dolly. Nowhere to be found after looking for 2 days. Call my son , "Hey , Did I leave my dolly at your place " No. Then Theresa remembered me using it to wheel the fridge from the garage outside cause it crapped out while we were gone. OK! Where is it then ? Look some more, and still no sign of it. We'll I must have left it out side and some sum gun stole it ! So I went to Harbor Frieght and bought a new one yesterday.
I'm thinking, maybe it really didn't get stolen and just maybe left it at the UPS store dropping off packages. So today we were dropping off more shipments and I thought to ask the guy at the counter, "You happen to see a red dolly left here recently ?"

He walks around the corner and comes out with a red dolly! Asks like this one !
I guess I get the award.

Cool that you got it back and the guy was decent enough to offer it back to you. I am always leaving things and not being able to find them. It comes with age and being too busy to remember. LOL :BangHead: :BangHead:

sounds like getting old stuff I said to the wife "One of my Ids is missing out of my wallet...maybe its in the other car" as I usually take my wallet and set it on the passenger seat I don't like sitting on it etc. anyway a few hours go by and it comes to me "I had everything out paying bills etc at the computer desk..." I then find the id setting on the computer desk... but I could hav efreaked out searching cars etc and tearing the house up looking for it glad i dont do that any more...
 
I have a "bowl of life" unfortunately a 2 wheel dolly will not fit in there...but it's just a clear rectangular piece of Tupperware that sits on our kitchen bar counter up against the wall. When I get home from work my keys, wallet and notes to self go in it. It also contains my extra set of keys, nail clippers and all the small **** I used to lose or misplace. Karrin uses my extra truck keys all the time yet has failed to grasp the "bowl of life" concept. Don't get me wrong I love her dearly, but my backup keys are always missing. I commute to work so the keys are tier one in the "bowl of life." I finally tied a pink ribbon to the second set of keys as a reminder and they were missing the next day...LOL. We had 3 grandchildren living with us at the time our 2 dogs and she works from home so I "get it." A couple of days went by and neither one of us could find the keys. Our pointer is a digger, so she digs wherever it is she wants to sleep. She was digging on the couch cushion and it flew off the couch to reveal only a small part of a pink ribbon. The keys and the rest of the ribbon were all the way down in the netting of the couch next to the armrest. Solution: put the damn keys in my "bowl of life"

We have had strange things happen at our house. I posted about my wife's Christmas Bear.
My wife was in her bathroom using her tweezers probably plucking a few stray eyebrows. Then she couldn't find them. She called for me for help. I couldn't find them either. We moved everything on the countertop. Looked in the drawer where she always keeps them. On the floor everywhere. We finally gave up.
Sometime later, she went back in her bathroom and then yelled for me. The tweezers were right there on the countertop where she had left them.

My wife is often looking for something that she swears she "just put down a minute ago". I hang my keys on a hook just inside the door and she doesn't use them, has her own keys for everything except my bike. Usually she puts them on the kitchen counter as soon as she comes in the house, but I've come home and found them in the door lock more times than I can count, and her car left unlocked in the driveway.

It's a chick thing. Red does the same thing. Keys on the kitchen table right where the highchair goes for the 2 youngest grandkids...ooo keys shiny... let's play with keys...ooo the dog wants to take the keys from me...let's play...F'N really? The funny thing is Linc they will defend what they have or haven't done until the cows come home and with my Red even longer!

Well, a song comes to mind here.
You should have sang ''Hello Dolly'' when you saw it!

Sounds like something I would do! I'll be looking for something so intently that I'll walk by it 5 times and not even see it. :realcrazy:

Ah the old rechargeable trouble light in the shop. Thing can be standing on the workbench. Looking for 20 min. Son walks in, I ask, he picks it up and says here use this one till you find it. Or put the torches and tanks on the two wheeled dolly go do the job, park them back in shop and spend the next two days looking for the dolly.
DUMB ***
