jklcpa Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Locking drop boxes are great. Be sure to write down the key's code and remember where that is, or don't lose the key like I did. I now expect to find the key tomorrow.   3 3 Quote
FDNY Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 Yes, excellent advice, always have a backup, and don't think to yourself, I'll remember where it is.  My wife's birthday is Friday and she saw a nice necklace that she pointed out to me months ago. I bought it right away and hid it somewhere. Hid it so good I can't find it.  I wish you posted months ago, you may have saved me from buying two necklaces. 2 5 Quote

I have two identical pairs of earrings. My husband like them so well that he gave them to me two Christmases in a row, forgetting that he had bought them the first Christmas. 6 Quote

Elrod Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Poor Bill.... I can see him now, taking advantage of those 3 hours... Good luck Bill...                    1 1 3 Quote
FDNY Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 Whew! Found it. Was in a winter coat pocket, nobody would think to look there, I was right. Also found my draft card, my college ID with a picture of someone who looks like Che Guevara, and a money clip with an inscription from an old girlfriend (better scratch that up). Thank you all for your well wishes and support.  Elrod had me down to a T, as soon as she left I went wild, because 3 hours can go very fast when you are under the gun. Oh shoot, got to run out.....to get a card. 1 4 Quote

Good to know it works for birthday gifts, too! A couple of years ago, I bought some small tools as a birthday gift for Doug, and hid them in a cabinet. I *knew* they were there, but could not find them! Turned out they had fallen off the back of the shelf and were wedged behind - out of sight and almost out of reach. I found them in time for Christmas.  5 Quote
jklcpa Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Posted October 28, 2019 Bill, I'm so glad you found the necklace! I'm back in business too with a new lock, multiple keys stored safely, and the key code written down and registered with the company. 4 1 Quote
FDNY Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 Thank you so much Judy. It was a long week, and I was a little worried for awhile thinking the necklace will only be found if and when we move. But with all the encouragement around here I could not give up.  I also did Elaine's happy dance when I found it!  2 Quote
