The worst thing I've ever lost is my mother's engagement ring. When I moved houses, it just disappeared. Most likely, I put it "somewhere safe" for the move and then promptly forgot where that was, which is always a mistake.
I may eventually find it, but that's not the case for most of these people, whose stuff is either lost or broken for good.
This wedding party is looking for the rings the Best Man dropped in the grass. They were found at the base of the tree, but only after the ceremony.
After losing her iPhone at a bar, this person's parents at least had a sense of humor about telling her that she wasn't getting a new one.
Keep yours within view at all times, because they always seem to disappear.
What is it about people thinking that they can just "borrow" art supplies? This is why my good brushes are in a drawer at all times.
Yes, technically you can fit all those jelly beans in one bag, but have you actually looked at those bulk store baggies? They're flimsy. So save yourself the heartache and just double-bag your snacks.
Apparently, this photo was taken at a horse racing event, which explains why a kid would have a helium balloon shaped like a horse. This would have wrecked me as a child.
Or at the very least, invest in some sort of case with a wrist strap or something. Good news, though, thanks to Find My iPhone, it was recovered in working condition.
It'll catch any of the fishy juices that might spill. Just be extra careful if your drain happens to be exactly the same size as the can.
Sorry, dude, but there is no way those frames are surviving that fall. Think of it as an opportunity to refresh your look and try out some new styles.
Hopefully, someone else didn't get beaned in the head by a flying smartphone.
What's lost is the job of the person who signed off on it and paid for it to be put up without noticing the mistake in the first place.
This guy was playing disc golf when his disc accidentally went into a pond. He ended up with 73 discs after his swim.
According to the user who posted the photo, this is the sad result of a "mishap with a bandsaw."
There are a lot of lost rings out there, but luckily this user's dad found his wedding band in the garden 15 years after losing it.
It must have sucked to be the person who lost their teeth in the lake. Dentures aren't cheap!
That said, they can take solace in the fact that it totally confused a future ice fisherman.
I'm sure we'd all like to imagine the tooth fairy turns our lost pearly whites into sparkly dust or something. We definitely don't want to come across a whole jar of people's lost teeth in an abandoned dentists' office.
While the comments confirm that it is an M7 Bazooka training rocket and thus not explosive, it's probably best not to pick one of these up and bring it home with you.
This vial was found while looking for sea-glass on the beach. I really hope it's the only one to go AWOL.
Otherwise, you may leave your very impressive firearm in the back for the next person to find. And there's no guarantee they'll try to return it.
Six-year-old Owen lost his Hobbes toy at Tampa International Airport, and while Hobbes waited to be returned, the airport staff took him on an adventure. The staff had all the photos made into a book that they presented to Owen.
Still, the owner of the mousetrap is pretty much guaranteed to not need to worry about rodents anymore...
He had dropped the phone in a river 10 days before. Not only did it still work, but since it wasn't locked, the firefighters began posting photos on Nathan's timeline to alert him.
Just don't try to take a photo straight down one. It would have been really funny if the friend that took this pic ended up dropping their phone, too.
This user recently lost their phone and immediately went to check the GPS. The result wasn't very helpful. Sorry, dude, but I doubt you're getting that back.
It's not like our clothes come with proper pockets. But usually if we drop our card, our boobs don't get lost with it...
