No, they had “fallen from my pocket as I was opening my front door, and then got covered in snow.” They were not still in his pocket.

You lose. 😃

(but you only lose nothing!)

Just this Friday I found a pair of sunglasses in my office that had gone missing for about four months. I squatted down to pick up an extra power cord that I had, because I was going to use my computer in a coffeeshop later–and there they were! How they got there I can’t imagine.

And they were fairly expensive sunglasses, too, which means I get to give back some of the idiot points I assigned myself when I lost them.

I hope this helps.

No bets to be paid out on ‘pocket’, I’m afraid, because I’m fairly sure it was _trouser_ pocket.

Now, where are those trousers?..

But you still have the box it came in, right? Try not to lose that.
