I think there is a black hole in the middle of my workshop and that is where all my tools go.
There are two different explanations for the vanishing item you just used a minute ago or a few days ago.
One explanation is the different universe gateway. Things fall through this gateway and are never seen again, the is one in every washing machine that one sock can fall through ...... But think of the poor bugger in the other universe, he has socks turn up that he knows nothing about ever owning or seeing before and mystery items appear on his bench while he is trying to put something back together, just where did this bit fit? His tool box continually over flows and he has boxes every where with strange items in them that fill his cleared work space the moment he tries to use it.
The other explanation is the time scene train. All time is built by the time people and the job is over seen by the time watcher. Every item is one of a multiple and as that scene passes the time people have to quickly assemble the next scene with the parts that should be still there before that scene rolls on through. Any thing that shouldn't reappear in the next scene remains in that frame and is placed in storage.
Now, every so often a piece gets left behind that should have been in the next scene. The time watchers recognises that "lost" look when you can't find something that was just there a second ago. He sends the time people off to collect the missing item but he can not put it back in the scene because you will see it suddenly appear. He has to wait until you wander off and look some where else, then he can slip it in either exactly where it should have been or under something. When you return the item is suddenly there again or it magically appears under the newspaper that you had looked under half a dozen times before.
Unfortunately, sometimes the item has gone into the archives and can not be quickly retrieved, these items are placed in a mystery box that you will find ages after you gave up looking and have you scratching your head as to how it got there.
Does this help to explain things that have happened to you?
