A friend of mine lost his wallet about a week ago. He looked everywhere. His wife looked too , no luck. Started thinking of the last place he had seen it and tried replacing his steps.
He told me of the wallet being missing. As a friend and knowing of how something like that can cause you distress , I offered to help as my friend is on oxygen and his mobility is slightly limited to search. Looked in many places high and low in his house that would be difficult for him to search. Looked through his car and under the seats etc. Looked in my car as I had given him a couple rides recently. No luck.
We started brainstorming places it could be as we were running out of places to look. Considered it could have fallen in the snow walking back and forth to his car , Now maybe frozen in till spring. Thought it could be maybe in the trash bags he just threw in the dumpster the other day.
I volunteered to search the trash bags. Got some gloves and started going through the first few bags , nasty , stinky kitchen waste. Finally the last bag ( #5 ) had the prize. There it was with some paperwork and bills.
Needless to say my friend was totally elated. I was pretty pumped too to find it for him. Made my day.

I can identify. It doesn't pay to multi-task on the way to the trash can.

Cool, did that once for a friend when we were out rabbit hunting.
He was reloading his clip and put it in the rifle and we started to make another circle for rabbits, had gone about 150 yards or so in some heavy sage brush.
Spooked one out and he went to take a shot and nothing, he had never put the clip in all the way or cycled the action and it fell out.
He was all upset that now he had to buy another clip, told him all we have to do is back track our step and we can find it, he would have none of it saying it was a lost cause in this mess and we did not have time for it.
Told him to stay where he was and I would back track his steps, followed back wards for about sixty yards in all that mess and there it was laying on the ground, pretty as a chucker waiting LOL.
Brought it back and he was so elated and could not believe I had done such a thing, was nothing for me but seeing him so happy was all the reward I needed.
Does give you a good feeling doing simple things for others who don't have a chance or can't do so !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Being I've been involved in search and recovery for many years. I can understand his frustration searching for something like that. Myself I can get a little obsessed especially when I know Im in right zone. Way go sticking with it and ferreting that out trash. My problem lately has become putting my own items right where I can find them. Then walking by it dozen times before find what looking for. They say it's an age thing. I just know I'm building quite a list can't find items. Usually by time I find what I'm looking for. Forgot why I needed it. Then I put it right where I can find it next time. LOL!

Very nice to help out a friend like that. I found a buddys wallet in the bar one night. It was full of money,so I bought a round for the table then gave it back to him. He was sort of happy.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
