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.
I had to buy a second pair of scissors as I hid them from my family and now I couldn't even find the first pair. :)

DH always asks as I give him my old scizzors. Since I recently gave him a pair that looks like the new ones I wrote NO NO NO all over the handles w black magic marker.

When I need my good ones I make sure no one is around, I get them out, use them and hide them again. I know they have been to the bathroom, the garage, even the car.

It took me several years to spend so much for scissors, Gingers of course. I advised, sternly, all who wanted to live in peace not to touch them. Fortunately we havn't had any issues and there are plenty of other scissors for everyday use. Even now if someone asks where there is a pair of scissors someone will yell 'Don't touch the good scissors!" which is followed by "I know!"
