  1. I lost one of my cats for a week. Went all over the neighbourhood, no-one had seen her. The following weekend she turned up, much thinner. She had been locked in someone’s basement all week. They had opened a window to air the basement, my cat went inside, they then shut the window and went away for the week. Thank heavens they were not away for longer!

  2. My phone, just after I had met a new boyfriend and he couldn’t contact me – I was gutted! Luckily he knew where I lived and came around to check I was OK. It didn’t work out though.

  3. The keys to our hire car keys when we were about to leave the Burning Man Festival – after searching through all of our things three times, we asked our friends to unpack their entire Winnebago and our keys were mysteriously (and miraculously!) wrapped up with their spare tent!!!

  4. I lost tickets before a charity football game and that was a big drama of manic emptying bags and boxes! In the end, there were ‘in a safe place’!

  5. I lost the new address of an school friend when she moved away, she thought I was so rude not writing to her.

  6. My guinea pig, he was playing in the garden one moment and the next off across the field like a bat out of hell!

  7. I lost an expensive earring once. I spent ages retracing my steps (I had walked loads that day) and I never found it. I think I still have the odd one now! I never spend over single figures on a pair of earrings now!

  8. My wedding ring, which after much frantic running around and panicked searching, was found lodged in the compost bin, where it had slipped off whilst I was gardening!

  9. my camera, whilst on holiday, special photos were on the card, not sure if we left it or it was stolen. still sad.

  10. A necklace. My grandad is buried with the other half and the chain snapped. Thank god the hotel found it for me but it was a horrible 24 hours xx

  11. i lost my son in woolworths many many years ago, i ran around panicking asking everyone if they had seen a small boy probably frightened and upset…. he however at 5 years old found a member of staff and they announced it calmly into the store. that was the last time i lost any of my children…20 years ago!

  12. A four year old – she went off on a walk with the dog, both leading each other, thankfully not far and the dog went the usual safe walk route to the nearby park, very scary at the time though

  13. I am forever forgetting where I put things especially keys. The other day I found 2 cans of beans in the freezer! I need this so much

  14. Probably would be a card that my nan wrote out for my birthday as she sadly passed away when I was 16 it may turn up one day when I least expect it.

  15. I think losing your purse is always awful not because of the money but all the cards you have to ring up about and things like driving licenses that you have to replace. That or something that isn’t yours

  16. When I was little I lost my night-time teddy bear for over a week. I was devastated until he was eventually found at the supermarket.

  17. I once left my handbag on the bus when I was younger I got off the bus and my dad was picking me up as soon as I realised my dad chased the bus down!

  18. I lost me wee sister when I was going shopping for my mum. She was about four and I was 12. I sat her on one of those rides {I did put money in it} outside the supermarket. I nipped in to get the bread, came out and she was gone. What a panic. I was more worried about the reaction from my mum if I’m honest. She was fine. She had run all the way home which I thought was pretty clever but I can still feel the horror of not seeing her when I came out the shop.

  19. My naughty cat Bert, went on an adventure for 10 days, really thought we’d lost home for good and he rocks in at 3 in the morning miaowing his head offto let us know he was home.

  20. A ring my parents got me for my 21st. I was in student accomodatipn at the time, it never did turn up and I often wonder where it went to. It wasn’t very expensive but it was very pretty. My dad also bought me a banjo though so I treasure that instead 🙂

  21. I have never (yet!) lost anything important, though I do tend to have difficulty finding my car again in car parks so this would come in very handy!!

  22. My mobile phone! I hadn’t backed it up for longer than I should have done either, so it was all the photos..etc that upset me as much as the phone

  29. This will sound absolutely awful but I lost my Dad once! Dad very sadly had dementia for a few years before he passed on and I took him out for a day to an old car show because he used to work in a car factory and I thought he’d love it.
    I stood at one of the stalls looking at the display and chatting away to Dad about what they had – when I turned around – he’d gone!
    It scared me so much because I knew he wouldn’t know where he was or even who he was!
    Luckily, the organisers were brilliant and got a message around to every stall very quickly, describing him and what he was wearing.
    When he was found he was happily sitting in a rest area chatting to a tiny little boy about cars. He didn’t realise he’d been lost and was perfectly happy – but I was completely on my guard from then on!

  30. When we had an extention done a few years back we stored a lot of furniture in a van and ended up loosing the keys. We never found them (probably ended up in the rubbish) and cost us a lot of money to get sorted

  50. I lost my wedding ring years ago in a car park when I removed my motorcycle gloves. Spent over an hour on my hands and knees looking for it with my friends, but no luck. Year and half later I stripped the engine on the bike and by coincidence found the ring wedged tight between 2 metal sections!!

  51. The only thing I can really think of is my passport, and being irresponsible back then meant I didn’t report it lost, stupid me

  52. When i was 18 i went to get my hair done for my school formal. MY mum had given me this beautiful butterfly silver clip in piece for my hair and told me she had worn it for her formal when she went to my school years ago. i put it in my hair and she told me not to lose it but of course I lost it. Seeing my mums face and disappointment in me when i told her crushed me

  53. I need this for when my husband has borrowed my car and then just dumps the keys down “somewhere” when he comes in rather than on our key holder ?

  54. I have lost my phone a few times and also bank cards, they always seem to turn up the second you cancel them though!

  55. My bank cards have been lost on a couple of occasions. Of course they have always been found after the card was cancelled!

  56. I lost my wallet with my drivers license, credit cards, and my (& my kids’) social security cards. Such a nightmare to replace all of it!

  57. The key to a holiday cottage. It fell out of my pocket on the dunes. We couldn’t get hold of the landlord either so ended up climbing onto a bin to crawl in through the bathroom window!

  58. I once lost my prude, I hate the panic when you lose something! I would use this for my keys and to find my car when it’s parked!

  59. I have been sitting here racking my brains, to try and remember if i have ever lost anything and cannot think of anything, but i will say i am for ever losing my car in car parks, especially multi story car parks, i walk around as if i know exactly where the car is, but most times i have no idea, i have even tried writing it down, but can never find the paper, i am what you call a lost course when it comes to car parks

  60. I lost a stone out of my engagement ring, but fortunately I did actually find it later on, which was amazing as it is tiny

  61. I lost my passport in Prague. It was a nightmare as I wasn’t allowed on my flight back home and had to find accommodation for an extra night.

  62. I cannot find a gold, slimline Parker pen an elderly neighbour bought for me when I started college, many moons ago. I’m not saying it’s lost, but I don’t have the slightest idea where it is! I do love that pen…

  63. I lost my handbag once. Me and my mate have the same tastes, we both bought same bag, went to pub, she went off with a friend to London to see a show. I could not find my bag (with mobile, purse, credit cards etc) anyway we soon find out they have taken my bag by mistake, but I almost had a meltdown first thinking it had been stolen from pub!

  64. The worst thing I ever lost was an earring which was a present; I still have the other earring in the hope I’ll find the missing one someday.

  65. Nothing huge *touch wood* but I did lose a £20 note once. It just *vanished*. The movers found it in our sofa 2 years later , LOL!
