Thats where I put it

[tshadowchaser]

To go along with the thread on moveing heres one where you can tell of those things you had forgoten you had or just had not seen in a while (years maybe) that you found when you moved.

I just found two knives that I had thought I had lost or had been stolen from me. It's nice to have them where I can use them once again, but I can't figure out how they got in with a bunch of stuffed animals that had been packed away in the shed

Maybe You're not the one who put them there ...

When I moved my mother from So Cal to Washington the first time, I found my high school class ring - missing for 20 years - in the bottom track of closet doors in one of the rooms I occupied when I lived at home.

My husband, not when moving but when we were installing insulation in the attic, found $300 in an old Johnson & Johnson bandaid tin. It wasn't either of ours.

Upon moving from So. Cal to Oregon I found an earring which was the last piece of a jewelry set given to me by my parents for high school graduation. The other pieces of different colors of gold with diamonds in them were stolen previously.

While unpacking, after arriving in Oregon, I found another piece of the same set I thought had been stolen and didn't remember packing.

Here you go when my Grandfather was getting in his nineties we had to put him in a retirement home, when cleaning his house we found 25,000.00 in his mattress and another 15,000.00 in old coffee can in the hallway closets, all in all he had over 87,000.00 put away all his house. He did not trust banks.

I had a cat for a while that loved to chase the tops off of water bottle, soda bottles, what have you. If you threw it across the room he'd play fetch with you for a while then take it to the kitchen and bat it around on the linoleum. When we moved the refrigerator and stove we found over 100 bottle tops under them.

Gee... when we moved my grandfather, we only found $5000.... of course, my uncle is a CPA and a lawyer, so I think he talked Grampa into putting most of his money into investments - a good thing, because he's 94 (95 next month) and still going strong.

The strangest thing I ever found after I moved was a box I thought I'd lost, and didn't find until I moved again, 6 years later, that had my favorite scissors (yay) and some then very out-of-date bills, along with some other stuff. But it made me happy to find it - I thought it had gone with the donation pile, and that someone out there had all my personal information from my credit card bills - not as bad 9 years ago as it would be today, but still pretty bad.
