Yeah, a checkout sheet might've helped... I'm the reason we can't have nice things. Lost a whole socket set from my own garage for months, swore I just misplaced it... turns out I "loaned" it to a neighbor and completely forgot. The tape measure is probably gone for good.

A simple checkout sheet adds accountability.

My neighbor still has my leaf blower from 2020 (I have the checkout sheet to prove it, not that it helped).
