    Missing box of brass

    I had some time to myself tonight and went to straighten up the gun room. It was a disaster. Got it straightened out, made a list of things I "needed" and went to turn out the light when I remembered a 500ct box of 45 Colt Starline brass I received in the mail a month or so ago.....I could not find it to save my life! I looked for over an hour. Not wanting to lose time with the family since they got home I left it be. Anyone else
    misplace brass or other components? Where did they turn up....Im
    at a loss of where to look and will gladly take constructive criticism at this point!

    Sounds stupid, but it is somewhere between where you picked it up and thought you put it

    Humm, I have found items that I forgot I even owned. If I don't know I own them, do I think I am losing somebody else's stuff??

    I lost a set of keys 10 months ago! I found them this morning in the pocket of a long sleeved shirt I hadn't worn in 10 months.

    I spend a good part of each day looking for something I lost. I'm always laying something down and have trouble remembering where I put it. I hope it is not a sign of something worse to come.

    I lost track of a box of 357 magnum golden sabers but it showed up inside my bug out bag, I completely forgot that I put the bullets there. Only God knows how much time I wasted searching for the damn thing until one day inspecting my "B.O.B" I noticed a bulged compartment after opening the zipper the box was there smiling at me.

    Out in the shop a little bit ago and found a Christmas gift for the wife from 01 up in the rafters it's a good place to hide stuff until you can't remember. she's opening it now cant even remember what's in it.

    If I bought them a month ago, I would be looking for something else and when I found them I would wonder where they came from.
    It is one thing to forget you left food in the microwave and another thing to forget what the microwave is.

    You've peaked my curiosity. What was it?

    Check with other family members, particularly the wife. They may have put it somewhere while cleaning up the place.

    I have to quit looking and take a rest. Then when I am doing something else I think about it. Usually I can come up with where I put it. It is fun to find stuff you forgot you had. Kinda like Christmas. Only you are giving it to yourself.

    Yes there is a Mosin butt plate in the house somewhere... could have sworn I tossed it in my range bag when I moved everything to the new gun cabinet but it isn't there.
