I had the best best book of pictures on what my hometown looked like 100 years ago and loaned it out and then they moved and I can't find that book anywhere. I will keep looking though.

I have a pretty extensive book collection, especially non-fiction and reference stuff, and after losing a few expensive books to people, my books are never loaned out to anyone anymore. THe other thing that seems to always disappear are clothing items. I loaned someone a sweatershirt on a fishing trip, and it never again appeared in my life.

I've lost loads of tools because friends have borrowed them and never returned them. One friend insisted that he'd returned a tool he had borrowed from me and then found it in his loft two years later. The strangest thing along these lines was when I was absolutely convinced that my next door neighbour's lawn edging shears were mine and he insisted they were his, so he kept them and I borrowed them when I needed them. Years later a friend I had lost touch with when he had left the area discovered my email address and mailed me. When I replied to him I told him I still had something belonging to him. His reply was, "That's OK, I've still got your lawn edging shears."

Books..I have lost track of the number of books friends have borrowed from me that I never saw again..when I borrow something from someone I am always aware that it is not mine..that I need to take good care of it while it is in my possession..and that I need to return it. Over the years..dozens of books... gone forever...it's o.k. though..books are replaceable. :)
