Somethings just seem to disappear--keys, scissors, camera, glasses. My glasses are the worst because I can't see without them so they are really hard to find.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-38739715077507211462013-09-24T15:52:44.710-04:002013-09-24T15:52:44.710-04:00I'm very careful, in fact doubly careful with ...I'm very careful, in fact doubly careful with my property because I could never afford to replace what I could lose or have stolen. Nonetheless, despite all my proper planning, I did misplace my sunglasses this summer. I called everywhere. Nothing. So, reluctently I had to buy a new pair and new UV tinted lenses and forgo an eye exam to make up the deficit.<br />My spouse however often losses his iPhone. A very nice college student found it, called back the number (because I kept calling it to see if the person who had it would answer). She told me where she was and we drove back to the park to pick it up. She said she understands how valuable an iPhone can be. Since then, we have activated the 'find my iPhone, iPad etc.' app for these items.<br />Since you left your camera in your car, odds are very good someone opened the doors and stole it. We have been repeatedly advised that this is a new crime wave and not to leave valuables of any kind in plain site in a car.<br />Sorry for your loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-80366913241642487562013-09-24T15:38:21.689-04:002013-09-24T15:38:21.689-04:00When my son got married I did all the flowers, wor...When my son got married I did all the flowers, worked with his wife, who is also an artist, on redesigning the family barn,to create the most gorgeous wedding I've ever seen. (I've seen and worked on a lot)<br />They had a fabulous photographer, but I wanted my own photos, too. I took tons of shots all day and night. Got back to the hotel and realized I didn't have my camera. We went back and scoured the entire farm! It has never turned up anywhere. <br />So here's my tip...for major life events...never take it from around your neck!<br />bBarbarahttp://zeroto60andbeyond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-55299056771424581462013-09-24T14:44:21.331-04:002013-09-24T14:44:21.331-04:00Oh dear, how sad.

I think people can open cars sometimes without leaving a trace.<br /><br />I’ve lost many items, mislaid them, left them behind after carefully putting them somewhere where I couldn’t possibly overlook them.<br /><br />Lame brain?

This was the first time I'd thought to be nice and neat but I walked off and left them hanging in the hotel. When I realized what I'd done I raced back but they were gone. I wouldn't have thought anyone in Turkey was fat and short enough to want MY pants.<br /><br />I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your camera shows up.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-73236175855467193132013-09-24T10:01:44.823-04:002013-09-24T10:01:44.823-04:00I'm ashamed to say that happens to me. also wi...I'm ashamed to say that happens to me. also with keys.
