I guess I am one of the lucky ones...
DH lost all of his suits to moths as he no longer wore them regularly. But they were in the closet which was opened daily. Oh well.
We didn't know we had moth damage until I tried to brush away a piece of white lint on his dark suit - at his mother's funeral. Oops - it was his shirt showing through. We found holes in the pants of another suit at my father's funeral. Not the funniest times or places to find these things but we still laugh about it.
