I misplaced a shield for 5-6 months. I was positive I'd hidden it when my nephews popped over for a surprise visit.

I looked and looked and couldn't find it anywhere. Finally I found it where I thought I'd stuck it. I apparently didn't look good enough.

Didn't let the nephews come around for that entire time. I just wan't comfortable thinking that if I turned my back for a second they would find it.

New rule is no one comes over w/o calling first so that I have time to put things away properly. I KNEW it was in the house but I almost filed a report 3-4 times...

So glad I found it.

No, I've looked in the same place twice for something and found it the second time. Or the third time. My mantle is cluttered with lots of "important" Roll Eyes stuff.

The last time I "lost" something important ... it was in a safe place I put it. And I swear, I must have glanced right at the spot six times

Good deal. I'm glad it turned up and there was no shenaniguns at the dealership. A good lesson for us all.

You might feel bad for everything, but think about this... at least its not is the hands of a thief, felon or on the streets causing chaos.

That should make you feel better. Wink

Happy outcome!

Glad all turned out well, only mistake made is forgetting where the pistol was. No harm done and I bet you will not do that again.

I have said "I bet I will not do that again" many times. It is very comforting.

I am happy you found your pistol, Quang, and humbled that my post helped.

It is also why I am no longer ashamed of my "footprints" in life.

Well Mr 12131, that was like finding that $100 bill you thought had slipped out of your wallet, but instead was folded neatly between some business cards.

Of course dimwits like myself go spouting off about securing guns, etc..

Glad you found your Ruger.

After all that, I located the gun.

sigmonkey's post on page 2 about his gun in the hotel room gave me the nudge to search the house again, and, the third time was the charm. Found it, in its case, in the garage, inside the the desk drawer of the AR15 work station that's now use as storage space. Maybe I put it there on the day I took the car to the shop, who knows. I can only speculate now, because I truly do not remember when I put it there. Roll Eyes

I feel really bad, that because of my stupidity, I suspected innocent people of a crime that never happened. Apology went out to the dealership.
Also, let the SO know that I've found it.

One good thing that came out of this is a lot of of good advice/comments/opinions I got from the thread. Thank you, everyone, for your time.


Glad you found it and a crime wasn't committed. That said, lets keep things in perspective...you did lose track of a firearm that doesn't appear to have been secured. We can all learn a lesson from this.

I did the opposite of this once, I found a gun in my trunk. If you have so many of the things you forget what you own it is time​ to downsize.

I have been as low as 3 but...good deals and uppers getting lowers keeps the number around 8 (10).

I keep the count low with high end optics and parts.

....there was that time a specialty historic 22 disappeared in my sector....for months....and months.....to the point I my friend was going to file report....

after the 32nd 'search everywhere' routine I my friend searched somewhere else....

it had fallen off the rear of a shelf in the safe and wedged between the wall & shelf. So small it was not visible, but detected due to careful palpation. Boy did I my friend feel like an idiot....
