The cutting blades from our KitchenAid Stand Mixer Food Grinder attachment. And I’m pretty hacked about it. We used it, washed it, set it in the little drain-cup attachment to the drainboard to dry, and _poof_. The blades, they are gone. I’m currently waiting for KitchenAid Customer Service to get back to me about whether or not one can purchase spare copies of those damn blades. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > :o Give it back! _makes a grab for it_ Heh-heh…too quick for you. But feeling generous, and also wishing to wash my hands of the matter, I’ll return your Polaroid. Just try not to think about the quick visit I made to the camera counter where I “might” have made a copy or several… 😃 ---

My little flashlight, smallest in a set of three from Costco. [FONT=Garamond]I love Costco. ```auto My other pair of slippers. The really good grammar book. Sheesh, we moved last June, and I still can't find these items. Also, I have lost my ability to keep track of small bits of information and to remember to do things like close closet and cupboard doors. ``` ---

Try accusing your nearest and dearest of theft. It won’t get you your stuff back, but it’s more fun than searching in the same places all over again. Spread the misery, I say! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-cant-you-find-recently/316094.md?page=2)
