When I was 12 my parents gave me an engraved silver pen & pencil set for Christmas. I lost the pencil at school shortly thereafter & was sick to my stomach for days over it. About four years later, a schoolmate hands me the pencil back and said, "hey, I found this downtown on the sidewalk." (We lived in a fairly small town).
This was years later. And being that she was not the brightest girl I have ever know, I think she stole it, and then realized with my name on it, she could never use it in school anyway (and she wasn't one for homework, if you know what I mean). I don't know why she hung on to it for so long before returning it, but I was glad to have it back.
