Heard that! I totally screwed myself, I had literally everything packed with white towels so that I could see anything that landed on them and snag it before it got lost.... My wife... being ever so helpful decided to do a large load of towels and on a whim... I stepped in to the garage to “just finish that one” and... snap, ping, fling... keeper gone ☹️
Hard lesson to learn, but I have all my towels packed back in there now, losing one was plenty for sure!
