Whenever you really cannot find something, no matter how hard you look...the important thing is to go out and buy another one....The original will magically reappear within several hours....honest...it has always worked for me..the only exceptions are tape measures and teaspoons ...sometimes you may need to buy eight...but in the end you will win....promise...

As a small child i lost my koala. My uncle gave it to me for Christmas and I sleep with it every night. One night it went missing. It could not be found anywhere by me mum or anyone in my family. A year later when we were moving my mum found him inside my mattress. I still have him today 58 years later.

My mind still is somewhere out there. If you find it let me know lol

oh yay, luckyyyy!!!

Wearing masks all the time, I have lost a few earrings. Search everywhere and eventually throw the one I have out. The last time, I said I'll just throw this one out like the others and low and behold after it was gone, I found the lost one in my handbag

I lost my mind but it now has come back. Phew.

My Mum always tells me that when I lose something, I must pray to Saint Anthony, The Saint For Lost And Found, I am great for losing things,, I pray But I guess He must think that I need decluttering, cause I can never find anything

Years ago my sister and I were shopping with mum at the Warehouse, I wandered off. Ten minutes later over the speaker.... missing in the store is a girl wearing a red t-shirt and jeans, her name is Lachelle, if anyone finds her can you please bring her to the counter.... What my mum failed to mention is I was 24!!!!!!!!! It was so embarassing when I showed up at the counter (on my own! I didn't need help), I should have stayed 'lost'.

I remember losing my wallet in the uni cafeteria with several hundreds of dollars in as I had to pay for my fees. Luckily someoneone handed it in and nothing was taken. So appreciative.

My boyfriend when i was at work years ago ,now i have been with him for marriage of 16yrs but have known him for 20trs

Lost the back of my earring and I was miffed. They only cost me 50p but was bought on a wonderful day which was full of memories. Six months later I was vacuuming the skirting board when there was a clunk and the plastic piece flew through the air and landed at my feet.

I can't think of anything

my necklace. turns out my flatmates kid had stolen it and put it under the washing.. it was something my dad gave me so i wasn't happy

keys

If it's meant to be yours, it always will be.

Myself. Sounds strange but as an older teenager my behavior changed. I did what i thought would make others happy,i was miserable,in my 20's i got married and had kids and worked and although i loved my family i felt lost. Now as a 50 year old i have had a seachange found the things i enjoyed doing as a young person ie art,reading meditation,volunteering and have accidentally found me and my sense of internal balance is returning. Only took me 35years.

My boy friend now my husband

No such luck

Well I was going to add something funny or useful...but hey..you guys have done so well..why bother.....

I have a long story but short version is something left behind in Christchurch travelled to Europe and came back to me in Hong Kong via a friend in Costa Rica who did not know the item was mine.

Part of my memory after having a stroke 11 years ago.

Lakes don't have a tide so presume they would stay around the same area. Lost at sea is different. Where I live people lose rings, jewellery, glasses, even teeth and they are gone forever. I lost a gold bangle when I was quite young and never surfaced unfortunately.

I feel this was meant to be for your Linda. The only thing that I have lost was my ex who reappeared and wanted to come back. No way, hosay! I have now been married to a marvelous man for nearly 40 years.

my mind!! LOL

A navy blue ribbon my parents bought for me from France. I found weeks later at the river side.

Wow, did anyone buy a lotto/tatts ticket?

Can not think of anything thing that i have lost that ended up turning up.

My dog

I thought my gold bracelet must have slipped off while I was putting clothes on the line. We spent ages crawling on the lawn looking. 6 months later I found it in the box of wrapping paper I keep.

my eyes,i couldnt see for 18 months and had to have injections in my eyes every two months for that time,now i can see

I lost my virginity a long time back. The way I am going now a days I reckon that it has come back.

yes, a pure coincidence

I lost my little handbag while on holiday when I was about 9. My Great-Aunt reported it at the Police station. A few weeks after returning home it was mailed to me. Someone found it and took it to the Police station.

Am still waiting .........

Years ago I had an old mini that was a real dunga and couldn’t be locked so on payday I stuck my wages under the carpet....and forgot about it. A few years later In was cleaning it out to flick off and lifted the carpet and woo hoo! Bonanza. Obviously didn’t miss it and got a grand surprise. Blew some of it on a great feed for me and my darling...lol

I got my self esteem back after a broken marriage and then some bullying - no one pushes me around now.

You never know

May be true for physical items , But when you lost your image in Society , very hard it to get back That is why always be impressive

It is amazing that something lost for a long time returns - amazing.

Yes put something away for a safe place then cant find it and when you are not looking for it you find it very weird

That must have been a real sight for sore toes! Was it a case of finders keepers? I thought I'd lost a poppy broach, made from bread dough, which my boys had got me for Mother's day at their primary school fete. But I was very relieved when I found it amongst such treasures I kept in a makeup purse.

My sanity - I was hoping my sanity was gonna stay lost - NO SUCH LUCK (woe is me)?!

Bloody car keys

As I am old I am always losing something & it usually turns up somewhere

Debra F, come and find my garden handtools. I keep losing them

I am losing memories sometimes they come back others have never returned

My self esteem

I'm forever losing things and then they mysteriously reappear where I had already looked half a dozen times before!!!
