When we leave home I have to keep my car keys in my hand or my DHs hand or I will lay them down and lose them!
I quilt carrying a purse because I was always leaving it somewhere. I left my purse(small clutch that I had made) in the cart at Walmart 30 miles from home at 9pm at night a few years back. Got home and couldn't find my purse. Called Walmart and an employee had found it and turned it in.
Just a few months ago I had my DHs checkbook and mine in my cart as I came out of Walmart. Saw my cousin and stopped to talk to her. When I got home I could't find DH's or my checkbook/ They had dropped out of the cart and it was windy that day.I was told some of the papers were strewn across the drive. Someone found them and turned them in but all the cash had been taken and I was missing some receipts. The cash was tucked down deep into a pocket so the wind didn't take it. Between us we lost about $75 that day. Mine was yard sale money I was going to go saling with but I guess someone else needed it more than I did. Why I didn't think to make sure I had them when I got in the car I don't know. But you can bet I always check where it is now!!
