I wish I had the time to do something so silly. Someone needs to tell me the secret to finding more time.

Brad, I have friend and years ago he left Australia and travelled and then he settled in Uganda, I was travelling too but I came back to Oz, One day after he had been gone for 20 years his mother became ill, So he came home to visit and so we decided to catch up for a coffee and he said to me as he left , Pete don't get caught up in this madness of the west and I've really tried not too! No pockets in a Shroud ! and you won't find a man on his death bed wanting to go to the office one more time.
Pete

It is a shame that setting traps is illegal in NSW. Thieves deserve such treatment.

Pretty sure the Kriesler has valves in it but it would need an overhaul.
Think I also need Ghost Busters here. The handle for the angle grinder finally materialised a couple of days ago. Now one of the Vernier calliper's have vaporised. Mate used to be fascinated. You would put something in the middle of the work bench, we would then go make a cuppa, come back & it would be on the floor.

Re disappearing tools:
I have a practice when prepping for painting and painting to have a put-down box for small tools that mysteriously evaporate, such as paint tin opener, a small forged scraper, gap filler smoothing tools, a small led torch, etc. These can disappear for months at the drop of a hat, often turning up when looking for something else. System does work, but not infallibly.

How does that happen?
I mean something disappearing right in plain sight.
I had a tea spoon do it a couple of days ago.
Barbara handed me a cup of tea with the spoon in the saucer.
I slipped a bit putting it down on the table, and the spoon disappeared.
I SAW it flash up and it was gone!
Yes, we pulled the chairs and table aside, no spoon.
Looked on the cupboard tops, no.
Did it slip through a crack in the space/time line, to reappear somewhere else?
In the workshop, well yeh, workshops are well known for swallowing even large items up.
Usually found years later neatly stacked somewhere.
Maybe it is an Imp or a Pixie, perhaps the Neat Pixie tidying up for you!
Fred.

I find that I'll be staring at the shelves looking for something I know to be there but won't materialise.
Then I need a leak!

At first I thought that the prankster was a TV tech as he carried the TV properly, even bent his knees, but then subsequently saw him carry another incorrectly. Every one else didn't have a clue as to how to carry a TV about.
It was the 80cm TV's and the large screen Sony's that did my back in.
Sixteen years after quitting the TV trade on Work-cover, my back still hurts. We have an agreement. I don't hurt my back, and it does not hurt me.

I wouldn't mind if he was delivering classic vintage TV's from the 50's and early 60's not the undesireable black plastic junkers.
