Recently, I ordered a book, loved it and ordered a second copy to give as a gift. The book arrived and I put it away waiting for the gift giving event. When the event came, I pulled out the hidden book, wrapped it, and gave it away...only to discover, I'd misplaced my origional copy. After a month of looking, I gave up and ordered another copy. The missing book appeared within a week. So, you see, there is something messing with our minds. As soon as the hunt is given up, whatever it is that is doing the messing, forgets the game and allows the lost item to be found.

Someone, somewhere, has a half finished sock to call their own now. If it was found by a knitter, then lucky them (although I question a knitter who would keep someone else's half knit sock!).<br/><br/>Someone I know lost a single completed sock in starbucks one day. Who keeps a single hand knit sock? Who doesn't take it back to Starbucks and hand it in? We hoped it was found by someone with only one leg. You know the weird thing about all this?

As much as I hate digging through crusty sweatshirts, hats, mittens and miscellanea, I've found our lost things in there before too.
