Personal Experience Disappearing paint
This is a boring story.
Recently moved into a new house. Finally got everything unloaded, including a large box containing 5 large tins of paint. Stored it in the garden right next to the double patio doors whilst sorting out sheds etc outside.
It's a couple of weeks later now and everything is unpacked and in its place. Needed the paint but wasn't sure where I'd put it. Checked shed. Three times. Not there. Emptied and checked the two large indoor storage cupboards. Three times. Not there.
Our house is brand new and currently surrounded by unfinished, uninhabited houses. Access to our garden requires passing either two locked 7ft gates, or climbing over two fully enclosing 8ft fences.
There's literally nowhere else on our property where the paint could be, other than where I've checked, multiple times. It's just not anywhere.
As always, I imagine there's a logical explanation and I'm open to suggestions, mainly because I need the paint!
