Items that were packed, but just can't find them
All our things were packed, all our boxes made it to Oz, yet there are a few items that we can not find. I can't imagine anyone pinching them along the line, as there were plenty of other stuff in the shipment of more value.
There were 2 bottle openers and a nutmeg grater, that still after 2 months after our stuff arrived we have yet to find. The other stuff that were kept in the same drawer we have found, so it remains a mystery as to where these items have disappeared to
So what items are you sure that were packed, but have not seen on this side of the world?

Re: Items that were packed, but just can't find them
It took us a while to find some things but they did turn up. They were just placed inside something else that we'd put to on side for a while. The packers tend to squeeze things in everywhere so it will all turn up eventually.

As things go, it doesn't even rate, but I do wonder every now and then 
It's ok though, I have replaced it and I nearly like the new one as much as the old one

I can't find our electronic nit comb! Of all the things to go missing.... It was brand new and had never been used. And typically, although we never had a single louse in the UK, we found our first one on dd's head last week!

Re: Items that were packed, but just can't find them
I lost a couple of small kitchen things. At the end of the unpacking (done on the day with me and the unpackers!) there was a rush on to get all the kitchen stuff unpacked, so I think that some things got left in paper. One very irritating things was the pestle (or is it the mortar) so I can't use what I've got left (bowl).
The guys who unpacked us, were definately not as careful as the packers, so beware!!
