No I mean Seriously!
I had my Woven Shim Choker (41% haste from xanamech) vanish from my neck between logging in on 1/28 then returning on 1/30. I petitioned and such with the details, and proceeded to wait and wait and wait. By 2/1 I thought for sure I was just out of luck when a GM sent me a tell just as I was setting up in trader. Lo and behold they had researched the loss and found that I had dropped it in the bazaar on 1/28 and nobody picked it up.
I had to ponder this a bit as I can't imagine doing that. Then I recalled that I left myself in the bazaar when I went to work that day and when i got home EQ was logged out and I was in Shadowhaven when I logged back in. It turned out that my 4 yr old son had somehow managed to drop my single best item on the ground :eek !
Well the GM returned the Shim and even the augment that as on it. I am shocked and very pleasantly surprised.
Morale of the story- turn on the option to make sure you cannot drop anything or lock your computer room when at work 8)
