I know what you mean Jalvja- I can see it happening now-
I find stuff missing out of my Turkey vest all the time, I ask em about it and he denies it.. then somehow it turns up back in my vest in a day or two.
Deer season was the same way..
I quit trying to keep a Tackle box with all of my fishing lures in it cause they disappear , unfortunately those never make it back..
Probably donated to some low lying Cypress limb in the lake
