HELP- where did I stick it?

What's Hot

A couple of weeks back I bought a shiny new pedal. I love it to bits but coincidently am selling a load of other stuff on Reverb. Obviously pedals sound better if you keep the boxes (well that's what pricing on Reverb seems to suggest) so I've been digging in the cupboard for the boxes to photograph. What confused me was I can't find where the box for the new pedal is. It should have been on top.
Any suggestions? I suspect the weirder the more likely as my place is small so stuff doesn't get left lying around anywhere.

    When this happens to me, the answer is usually "The wife tidied up". That means it could be anywhere in the house, or I'd better hope the bins haven't been collected between then and now.

    I gave that a Wis, on the basis that my wife won't see that it did it.

    :-) I once sold a rare 60s Nikon F with motordrive-back to a guy in the Lake District. His postie assured him he'd delivered it.
    Turn out his Dad who suffers from dementia had put the parcel in the recycling bin. Luckily the guy found it before the bin lorry came round.
    Back to the matter in hand, unless your wife has popped round and cleaned my place I consider that unlikely. Not married.

    Panic over! Well for me anyway.
    It was in the rice/pasta drawer. Obviously.

    She is somewhat obsessed with tidying up. You should be grateful that my chaotic tendencies keep her busy here.

    Did your mum throw it away? That's what my mum used to do. I remember one daring raid to 'extract' action man from the bin. It was a combined forces operation (my brother kept mum busy).

    I now look in the fridge whenever I've lost something like a screwdriver or my second pair of glasses.
