Actual footage of a 10mm socket disappearing

I always blame the cat. Then when I get really desperate I call on the wife whom usually saunters out to the shop and spots the item right off the bat. The cat likes her better than me so she puts it in an obvious to a females intuitions safe spot.

I've tried that one, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
What I do most often now is, if I lose a hammer, I go look for a tape measure, I almost invariably find the hammer. I think what happens is that the gremlin that hid the hammer to start with is fooled into thinking that I wanted the tape measure all along, and hid the wrong thing, hence the hammer turns up.
