What items do your gremlins currently possess? They hid my car keys for two weeks!

Everyone knows that there are gremlins in all of our houses, taking things from us and hiding them, sometimes in plain sight. For some reason, it seems that the older we get, the more gremlins we have in our houses. A couple of weeks ago, I was ready to drive to work, and noticed that my car keys were not in my shorts pocket, where they belonged. Fortunately, my back-up keys were where they were supposed to be, so off to work I went. Upon returning home from work, I took a small sniff of cocaine, lit up my pipe, and sat in my comfy chair, gazing out the window. A friend named Dr. Watson entered without knocking, saw me in my deliberative state, and left without saying anything. Things usually get lost when there's a break in routine, I mused. I had done laundry, so I checked the laundry room and the shorts I had been wearing the previous week. Nothing. I had gone swimming with my young friend, so I checked my swimming shorts, or so I thought. Nothing. Yesterday, I went swimming. I noticed something "heavy" in the pocket of my swimming shorts. Apparently, although my thought processes had led me to the correct conclusion, I had not checked my swimming shorts thoroughly enough. The gremlins yielded, and I had my main set of car keys back. I had the car keys in there because I had gone to my vehicle to retrieve my sunglasses on the way to the pool. All I'm missing now are about a dozen guitar picks, one guitar strap, a guitar stand, and a bottle of car polish, that I also use on my guitars. What material objects do your gremlins currently possess? How long do they usually keep your things? Can you hear them cackling late at night?
