Today I’m without my beloved SE HB Ladybug! :(

Hope whoever finds it likes it as much as I did.

You better get another one... if you don’t find it, of course. You’ve got me using my Ladybug hawk.

Hope it turns up Alex! Every once in awhile I realize I haven't seen one of my Manbugs in a few days. I always end up finding it in the pocket of the pants or shorts I had worn previously. They've even gone through the wash a time or two
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

I've had and lost two of them.

While I love the little knife, the size and lack of clip really help me lose them.

Many Thanks Dear Friends! :)

I've had a Barry Crocker of a week so far. Yesterday, I got pinged for speeding on the way to work ... $AU275, this morning my little knife's nowhere to be found and yes, Spydergirl is dead right it'll be the best part of $AU90 to replace.

Hope my little darling does show up. Had it yesterday, can't remember seeing it last night and no knife this morning.

I'm hearing you brother! I don't think I've carried it once and not patted myself down thinking I've lost it at some stage. :eek:

Hang in there, Alex! :eek: hope your week turns around.

I'm quite curious if/ when we'll see those Lady/Manbug clips that Sal's been talking about carrying protos of.

Lost mine at work last fall, made it until last month before I replaced it. It's the biggest LBK and I'm glad to have one again. I feel your pain Bloke.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Sorry to hear you lost your knife, Bloke. Hopefully it’ll turn up. From your past photos of it, if it’s still lying where it was lost, at least its yellow handle might make it visible for you to find, unless it becomes/became visible to somebody else already.

Although I’ve never lost any knives, I have lost things that really bothered for me a long time. Hope your week turns around. It can only get better, right?

Simply solution to this problem , Put a container (let’s say 8 inch by 8 inch ) outside in your garden. Put in some Aphids and wait . Your LADYBUG will come flying home in a short time spell when it gets hungry 😁😂. Hope you find your knife soon . Living the dream Acer out.

What a bummer. It’ll turn up...in your washed pants or shirt, between the seat and console, somewhere.

Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha! :rolleyes:

Fruit’s probably overrated and I’ve got the grandkiddies hunting affids for bait. I found half a tin of dried out chew under the car seat, a sock and an old pair of Reg Grundy’s in my swag. :eek:

Thanks again everyone! Love the good people of our Forum and we’re expecting good rain from tomorrow so all’s good. :)

Still Hope the little thing turns up but I’m not holding my breath. I’ve got half the Naval Base looking out for it and a case of beer for anyone that finds it. Perhaps a clip would have helped but I’m truly a hopeless little bloke that’s always misplacing or loosing stuff. :o

A case of beer usually does wonders for people's eyesight and lost knives Bloke! I'm hoping it turns up for you, as there's no greater hollow feeling in your gut than a lost knife.

Thanks Barry! That’s what I’m hoping. Particularly when the average punter would look at it and think it’s worth a couple of bucks. ;) :)
