Question of the Day: What is the most expensive item you’ve ever lost?

Let’s be real—mine was a Blackberry I lost for a year, and then somehow got back. I thought it was gone forever, until a local police station called and said, “We think we have your phone.”

But sometimes questions like this tell us more than we expect.

They remind us of how tightly we hold on to things—or how badly we wish we’d held on tighter. Sometimes it’s just a pricey mistake. Other times, it’s a reminder of something deeper: that loss doesn’t always mean the end. Occasionally, it even comes full circle.
