The garage gremlins
irvined - 19/2/10 at 06:13 PM

Who else has gremlins in their garage?

When i lived in leamington, they would sneak around the garage late at night and hide the scribe, it would turn up occasionally for a few minutes before being hidden again.

Now, its usually the key fob for the door that they like to run off with, however today for reasons unknown to me, I can only find one out of the pair of shoes i use when im in the garage. Why??????

Now obviously, being a bloke i just remove from my feet and replace with other shoes and walk off. Its not like i actually tidy them up, so they should be exactly next to where i put on my normal shoes. I've searched high and low, and I still can't find it.

Gremlins i tell you....

yep they nomally hide things under my car just out of reach

they usually hide all my stuff. sometimes i find them again. sometimes they go missing completely. i'm sure they're building an identical car to mine, and it'll probably be done quicker too...

Do yours also seem to feed on 13mm or 1/2 Sockets and Spanners?

When I'm doing anything under a car they always hide spanners underneath me so I think I have been lying on them all along.

Reckon the gremlin in my garage has more tools than me now after the amount that have disappeared.

"Do yours also seem to feed on 13mm or 1/2 Sockets and Spanners? "

My FAV 10/11 mm Britool spanner went missing for about 3 years, so i bought a replacement, but not quite matching the others but did the job,

and of coarse my lost one turned up

Socks!
Seriously in the past 2 years I've bought about 50 pairs of socks, now I have 5 (wouldn't mind but I bought 6 pairs 2 weeks ago!)
Most of the time I wear them once and they vanish

Perhaps one of the spiders in there has grown so big it's started needing footwear?

Would that make it "category 4"?
