1) Two pairs of Ray-Ban glasses before I was smart enough to start putting a lanyard on 'em.
2) 2/3 of a Winston WT 8' 4wt rod with a favorite old Okuma reel with a brand new weight forward line when I neglected to zip a reel-on case shut.
But a couple of happy endings: Two years ago in South Dakota we were flying down the interstate when we thought some guys in an SUV were harassing us. Turns out they were trying to tell us my nephew had left his shotgun on top of the bed cover. I laughed at him, then this year we were driving through a field when I noticed my 16ga Trojan was still lying on the hood of the truck. I guess putting things on the hood isn't always good enough
