Lucky is better than good. I have a similar story.
I had lost my 15 year old wallet with all my credit cards and drivers license and $150+/- bucks. Don't know where or how. The replacements arrived and I lost the entire wallet again within about 30 days when I went overboard trying to reach and pick up a bouy marker 30 miles offshore sending another $200 bucks or so to davey jones locker.(Never leave the boat in gear when you leave the helm, I hadn't but this is why;) It was a joke to everyone that knows me. When I got all my replacements in my new wallet I was determined to take better care. I lost it a third time within 3 months, or so I thought. Last time I had it I was loading some heavy equipment on a lowboy trailer for transport to Ft. Lauderdale. I frantically tried to reach the driver to have him look for it to no avail. I knew the guy I was sending the equipment to so I had him look. There it was, on the transmission of an Allis Chalmers All Terrain Forklift. It had slipped out of my shorts while sliding my big a$$ over the seat and fallen below the floorboard. 250 miles riding on the transmission of this old machine while being hauled down the road on a lowboy semi trailer. Lucky.. I have not lost it again since.
