What's the strangest place you found something you were looking for?

I lost my Easy Angle ruler, which I relied on a lot... Looked everywhere around my sewing stuff (in the dining room) and couldn't find it. So I went to buy a new one. Of course, as soon as I had the new one, the old one was found! It had slipped off the table and was snugly wedged between the side of one of the chair's seat cushions and back of the chair. I know I looked in all the seats around the table, but didn't see it at first because of the angle it landed in. Now I have a spare!

Telling a story on my cousin. She lost 3 sets of keys in a row. I finally kept her house and car key on a ring so I could bail her out when she lost the next set. She looked everywhere. She had gone through her purse numerous times, but once she had dumped it out on her table. Then In anger she threw the purse down.. And heard a jingle. ???? her purse liner had a hole. three sets were still in her purse when it looked empty. Bkay, this is Susan that you met.

I wonder how I knew, ha! I've had things startle me when they fall off my shoulder where I placed them! So good to be human, eh?

When I worked at a physio clinic and patients had to remove watches and jewelry we always told them to put it in their shoe. Then they would not forget it.

Last Fri. my DH was looking for his long handle pruning shears. He had used a few days before. We looked the yard different times, and the garage several times. He thought he probably laid them on the trash can, and it probably fell in with out him knowing. I went out to the garage this morning, and there leaning on the table were his shears. I thought he had found them, and put them there. No, that wasn't the case. We even use the garage to come in the house, and we must have walked past them 50 times or more. I realize we are getting older, but we both have 20/20 without glasses since cataract surgeries. LOL

Years ago, I was at a pool party and saw that my pearl ring didn't have a pearl any longer. I don't know how long it was gone but I found it. It was snuggled up to the strip on the floor at the bottom of the back door.

My most famous (and recent) "loss" was my 3 1/2 x 18 inch ruler. I'd taken it to a sewing day and couldn't find it when I came home. Emailed the organizer who gave me the janitor's contact info, emailed him and the ladies who run the comfort quilt part of our guild (where the janitor was to put the ruler if he found it).
Long story short, no one had found it, I couldn't find it, so I replaced it, but I couldn't find the same brand with the same lines anymore which saddened me. Then, about a week after buying the replacement I was lifting my machine to put in its' tote prior to going to another sewing day, and I saw the corner of the ruler sticking out from the edge of my sewing machine at the back side.. I must have somehow set the ruler under my machine in the tote when I packed up the previous time and it stuck to the bottom and the edge that stuck out wasn't visible unless you were looking at the back....I'm glad to have it back!
