I keep mine well hidden! I lost one pair and when they came back I found out they had been used on plastic, wood, metal, styrofoam, and concrete! No one dares touch them now but I keep them hidden anyway!

we used to do work on our car, a VW Rabbit diesel - had a shop manual and everything. Adjusting the valve clearance called for VW tool DF-4287 or some such thing - but we did it with a pair of scissors and a screwdriver. Not the good scissors though...
Thankfully those days are over, I HATED working on cars.

My husband knows not to use my good scissors. He wouldn't find them in my sewing room. To secure the scissors purchase a combination lock used for luggage and no one would be able to use them without the combination.
