I dropped one (of two) setscrews into the pit while fitting a skidplate to my Plus 4. It dropped through a quantum portal and despite several searches has not turned up. Cain came to the rescue!

When I was doing a head gasket on a classic Mini years ago, I dropped a pushrod which went down the exhaust downpipe, and lodged at the bottom.........

Even recently when changing the Polo battery I dropped the fixing bolt in the engine bay corner. It vanished. These days I keep a huge selection of fasteners on the shelf so it wasn't a problem replacing it. But I don't like missing bolts in engine bays........ A few days later I was looking again and there it was......large as life and lodged in a corner........
