Ever throw away something valuable

I checked into a hotel room after travelling a long time, and I stood in the doorway of the bedroom and bathroom. The plan was to toss my wad of used tissue into the loo, and toss my phone on the bed. It didn't work out the way I'd planned.

I left a bag with textbooks worth £100's as well as my weeks earnings from my PT job on a bus as young student. Every time I think about it I re-experience the sinking feeling I felt when I realized what I'd done.

Sibling, when we were younger, got friendly with an old lady from a very well to do protestant family who had been huge landowners in the area in the past. The lady ended up giving her this pristine book of stamps that she has been given as a kid which was preserved in plastic that has been passed down through the family. My sister being a kid ended up taking the stamps from the well-preserved surroundings and sticking them into a scrapbook to make a kind of collage. The collection after being used like that was now I presume worthless but then also got lost down through the years. I always wonder what that collection would have been worth or if it had any priceless gems among it.

Left a 50 note on the couch the other day. Let the dog in and noticed he had it in his mouth. Got half it back at least. Not much good to me tho

The bank will honour it. Done that a few times with the cats. As long as they can see what it is. Good luck!

My wedding ring, accidentally, unknown to me and within a couple of months of getting married!

Me too. I don't even know when. A couple of decades ago anyway. But thats because I manage to throw away, lose or damage most things. So I have one pair of earrings which were a tenner in the Galway market and that is all the jewelry I own. The kids or himself don't buy me any stuff, as they know I will lose, throw away or break it. Don't know why this is, I'm not particularly careless or reckless. Valuable material things just pass briefly through my hands and disappear or crumble!
