years ago i misplaced a D cell Mag Lite> They were quite pricey at the time. I looked for 6 months or so and NADA. So I'm at he local big box checkout and there's a new replacement. I said, I'm done looking for it and bought the new one. I SWEAR i was not home more than a minute when I opened a seldom used cabinet in the laundry room and there it was on the top shelf
