Ever lost an important item?

Ever lost something important? I lost some of my babypictures during the splitt up.. I split up with my boyfriend and he held some of my pictures, tried to pursuede me to get them by making an appointment. I would have gotten them but he was to dangerous at the time to see.. I really regret that I didnt just meet him, should have taken some friends with me to be sure.. Have you thought of placing an add in a local newspaper to retreive your USB?

Well a couple of things every now and then. I had thought that I had once lost a textbook for school one time when I was about the fourth or fifth grade. I tore apart every part in my room and everything. As it turned out, it slid behind my other books in my desk and when I had taken out a couple of them to rearrange some things I had found it. I nearly had a panic attack when I tried to find it, because it was kind of an important book that I needed fairly often. That was some bad times for sure. So yeah, every time I can't find a book, I normally pull the other ones out, to as make sure they did not slide behind them in my haste to put things away. Also one time, I lost my glass case, with my glasses inside. That was rather distressing, given the fact that I kind of needed glasses to see. I had an old pair that still worked well enough although not as well that I had to wear them. The other things that I lost were either all not that important or found rather quickly thankfully. Of course a lot of times, I "lose" things, but in reality, I put them in a place where I would not think to look, because that's not where they normally go. So yeah, its important to put things back in their proper place, as I'm sure that accounts for half of the things that people lose. Not everything mind you. So yeah, lost a couple of important things in my day.

I do not have many items with sentimental value. Maybe I'm just not sentimental sort. Although there would be some personal items that I would care about. If it is missing, I'd probably be thinking whether it is sign of something. My sister went on a diving trip and she lost a ring her boyfriend gave to her. She was totally devastated. Soon after, they split up. Now, she is happily married with someone else. Anyway, I'm sorry that you lost some important documentations of your life. It may come back when you least expected it.

LOL i have lost lot of precious items, I had three USB with me one was Sandisk and it had awesome speed but unlucky i lost my pen drive i had lot of stuff stored in it like my important documents friends pic but all have gone in vain, also not only pen drive i have lost important notes of mine of studies sometimes inspite of searching and nooks and corners of my house i dont get it and the question the arises to my mind how can i be so careless in my stuff. But now each and everything i am taking care of be it little things or big stuff being realizing the pain of lost items iam avoiding to lose them.

Last 2009, i was a victim of pick-pocketing. I lost my two usb (transcend and kingston) containing my thesis files and other important files. Plus mobile phone and 8000 Pesos (about 200 dollars) intended for my enrollment. I would never forget that day and I am extra careful this time. That day continues to inspire me to get engineering technology course to make some gadgets or tracking device to trace my things from then on... and the passion stills burns until today and i am just waiting for support...

Dude it happens all the time.... trust me working at an airport I've seen people leave the most insane things behind. At least you care about the things you leave behind.

Yes, I lost two things. A gold chain I wore on my right wrist the reminded me of a former girlfriend and an engraved expensive pen that my father had given me. In both cases I went back to were the likely places I had lost them was to look for them but had no luck.

i lost my best friend's last gift to me before he left for Japan... actually he gave it to me when he came back here from a vacation in Japan, then he'll be leaving again in a couple of weeks. it was a ring brain twister. i loved it so much and i'd spend hours and hours in school hanging out in the library with him trying to solve it. haha (cant solve it in the classroom or corridor. people will stare sooo hard) i lost it in school. a friend borrowed it and passed it to others i dont know who. she should have told me first before lending it to others!!! i totally freaked out in school after a couple of days of searching for it and not finding any person who's holding it. (i suppose they were jealous that's why they didnt return it to me.) sad, sad, sad.... :(
