"...but the Gremlin theory explains so MANY things so much better."
I would be more worried about my cats growing thumbs.
I thought I had accidentally tossed a set of scope lens caps after cleaning a rifle,,,
I stumbled across them completely by accident one day.
They were in a shoe under my bed,,,
Along with several other things.
Apparently my new kitten would take stuff to play with,,,
And when she was finished she stashed the things in that shoe.
When one of my very expensive hearing aids went missing from the charger,,,
I thought of those lens caps and looked in my under-the-bed shoes,,,
There it was along with a few more unnoticed missing items.
