If you’re anything like me then you will have lost an innumerable amount of things throughout your life. I could barely go two days as a kid without losing a pair of gloves or a hat…or a shoe.
However, sometimes things have a way of coming back to us after we misplace them, like these 13+ lost things that found their way back to us.
RELATED STORIES
“Found & returned a $5000 ring that was lost for almost 5 years while underwater metal detecting!”
That is some seriously good karma for that diver to have returned that ring! Merman Mike actually likes traveling to communities and helping them find lost valuables in lakes… What a weird hobby, but noble if nothing else!
“My friend just returned from a 7 month deployment. This guy had my favorite sign in the crowd of friends and family.”
“Well, it’s great to see you’re alive and all, but…”
“Is this about the $5 still?”
“Well, I had to make this sign, so really it’s more like $7 now.”
“It took you $2 to make that sign?”
“Maybe…”
“Must have dropped my keys after I locked my car. I came back to this.”
I thought that the last line was, “Give me a hug,” which would have just been bloody adorable…or quite sad?
The Cat Returns…With A Friend!
This poor cat owner wrote, “My cat went missing for 2 days, so I put an advert on Facebook. Literally 5 mins [later] my cat comes to the door. 30 mins later, my neighbour comes and drops off what he thought was my cat. Now I have two identical cats.”
“Friend’s GF returned from a trip to find someone else’s undies in her drawer. She got mad. He knew what to do.”
People often do the laundry for people they’re having affairs with…right? I don’t actually know if this is true, I don’t watch enough soap operas.
“My best friend realized he lost his ID when we returned from vacation, Faith in humanity restored.”
I initially love seeing these things, but then they just make me more angry when I inevitably lose my ID and it never comes back…
“Grandma passed away. She saved every picture we ever did from every grandchild in a folder for each of us to have when she died. Found this in mine lol.”
This is unbearably sweet. I’m not crying, you are! I’m sure that it is worth a fortune…better hold onto it though for safe keeping.
“Found a rolled up oversized portrait of my 4-year-old self in a storage box.”
Well, he’s barely aged at all! They really lined this up perfectly, it’s quite eerie actually!
Old Friends Reunited…
The wonderful backstory behind this one was, “In 2005, my family visited Ninh Binh province of Vietnam and my 4-year-old brother took a pic on a water buffalo with its owner. In 2020 we returned for the first time and met the same man and the same water buffalo.”
“Someone is missing their snips back at the plant.”
You know that the guy who lost these has already accused everyone he works with of stealing them.
“Woman finds her cat alive sixteen days after a destructive tornado in Joplin, Missouri, in 2011.”
I just love how that cat looks like it doesn’t give a rat’s ass about having been rescued. It looks like it has been rudely awoken from a pleasant nap and is furious about it.
“Found my old, still working MP3 player with more than 3000 songs of my late teenage years.”
Sweet Jesus, Reel Big Fish! That is a name I haven’t heard in some time, and a name I could do without hearing again for even longer!
“Worked at target 4-years-ago and I was notorious for forgetting my name badge and ‘borrowing’ someone else’s. Just found these.”
This person added, “My favorite was using the new team member badge so I could always use the excuse ‘sorry I’m new, let me get someone that can help you’,” which is genius.
“Someone shot an [arrow] in my yard today… I left a note [in case] they return for it.”
I mean, the person who fired this arrow is lucky that they aren’t retrieving it out of someone’s head!
“Just found a lug nut in my fruit bar.”
“Congratulations, if you find this lug nut then you win the prize, which is a surprise trip to the dentist!”
*Pained mumbling.
“Pulled a weed and it unearthed a lost tennis ball.”
The harvest looks great this year, wash that off and you can add fresh tennis balls to your supper!

This is all a giant scheme to get people to like candy corn. It won’t happen, that dream is over.
“I lost my keys at the beginning of [a] snowstorm […]. The snow and ice is finally melting.
This happened to me once, but it was my phone, and I never found it when the snow melted. I just lost my phone in a snowbank.
From One Pocket To The Next.
A true finders keepers story, this user wrote, “I found a 1944 Liberty Dime in my cash register today. I pocketed it, only to find out later I had a hole in my pocket. I thought I lost it forever until I felt something I was walking on… turns out it went straight down into my shoe!”
“Somebody lost their Lost DVDs at the bus stop.”
Looks like whoever lost it has to go back, huh?
“My dad found a Japanese rifle he lost as an 8 year old in 1966 in the wall of a wheat house at his homeplace.”
This is a crazy find and a wild coincidence, but how does someone lose a gun to start with?
“McDonald’s lost part of the drink machine in my orange juice this morning.”
It’s like a happy meal, but for adults and more inconvenient.
“These lost and found cats in the classified ads match each other’s description.”
This gives me real “Escape (If You Like Piña Coladas)” vibes but without the almost-cheating.
“This birthday card was lost in the mail for 2 years, and the ink from the bill transferred to the card.”
Ben Franklin looks pretty annoyed at having been trapped in that card so long, but hey, better late than never.

I think that some doctors probably have the same thing for when they have found things in people’s…actually, better not to think about that.
“A lost and forgotten tomato seed is growing out of my kitchen’s sink hole.”
Ah, the good ol’ drain pipe harvest. At least it’s easy to water!
“Was cutting down a tree at a golf course and found a golf ball wedged in it.”
Must have been one hell of a powerful shot…a bad one though, nonetheless. Also, you could just count the rings around it to see how long it has been there!
