I lost tools but found many as well.
When I was 20 years old I was drafted for the Dutch army. After a long day training in the woods and sand-dunes we had to sleep overnight in a small 2 person tent. In the morning after a bad night sleep I was late for roll-call. Then I found my FAL 9mm automatic weapon outside of the tent RUSTED AND FULL WITH SAND because of rains! No time to clean the weapon!
On roll-call I was told I was gonne be punished hard. Luckely the sergeant forgot.
Some years later I was recalled for a 3 day rehursal in the army. While marching one day we stopped for a coffee and a sandwich in a small town.
After this short brake we marched on. Then after 1/2 mile I suddenly discoverd that I didn't carry my weapon ( a "Garant" from the 2nd world war ). I had left it behind.
I never before ran the 1/2 mile that fast, and then found my weapon standing behind a tree.
The sergeant didnt mention it.
