    Me it was a lovely green MP4 player bought it in Aldi. Had it loaded wing songs, videos etc was a great bit of tech. Was in a hurry one morning and and it was in my coat pocket but managed to fall out as I was running to catch a bus and I only noticed it was missing when I was on the bus. Was raging. Never found it but still miss it. They do not seem to make MP4 players anymore :(

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Met a bloke on the golf course one day that had the most amazing golf ball I've ever seen, he was showing it off to me, telling me how it was virtually impossible to lose the bloody thing.

    Apparently when you knocked it into the water, it would automatically inflate a mini life jacket, and a propeller which would steer it back to the shore.

    In really bad roughs (long grass) it would deploy a pole with a flashing beacon.

    Putting it in the sand, it would deploy mini shovels, after which it would dig itself out, and erect a small tent around itself to protect it from the elements until its owner reclaimed it.

    I was truly amazed at this wonderful piece of technology, and immediately sought info as to where I could buy one from, as i had never seen them in any shops or websites.

    "I'm not sure mate, I found this one" was his reply.

    My kindle fire went missing on a bus journey. Maybe I left it behind, maybe it got nicked from my bag, I don't know. Probably the former, I can be very scattered at times.

    And my tablet, my poor tablet. My partner accidentally kneeled on it last night and shattered the screen. :(

    Back in the day... Nokia N-Gage that I lost on a bus. Used mostly for the MP3's and recording from radio/external source like a tape player.

    Still sad looking back at that evening!

    I have been lucky never to misplace a piece of technology or lost one usually find them the only thing I tend to loose or misplace the most are usb's and connectors.

    My time machine. One of the kids accidentally activated it and it disappeared off into the past. Or future. Not sure which. Blueprints were in the bloody thing too. :mad:
