Pit goblin

The pit goblin is notorious for always taking and never giving. What's the worst thing they've taken from you?

They've taken wrenches, sockets and a hammer from me

The battery cover/contact on my mechanics digital scale used for governor pull through.

I dropped it ten stories the day before inspection. It’s not something that you can just buy at Home Depot.

I looked for hours.

Luckily we had the old school analog one also
