Wife threw out all MY ROLEX BOXES/PAPERS! Or Maybe Not..

[DoxaDavid]

Ok, I almost had a heart attack today.

I had all my watch boxes, papers, extra links etc. stored in a large plastic container and I kept said container in a guest closet. I went to retrieve a link for one of my watches today and the box IS GONE!

I have this flash back about a conversation I had with my wife a few weeks ago where I have some vague memory of her telling me she was planning on cleaning out some old stuff to make room in the guest closet for when my parents visit. Never thought about my watch boxes.

The panic attack kicks in when after giving her a call as she was out running errands I ask, "Where is the plastic bin from the guest closet?"

Her response froze my heart. "I cleaned it out and used the bin to store some stuff in the basement." Before I could ask the next question, she says "Our daughter is yelling and I'll have to call you back."

I'm crushed. All of my watch boxes gone with particular angst about loosing my Rolex materials.

A couple hours go buy which swings the my emotions from depression to anger.

How could she be so stupid? Who throws out such valuable personal things without asking?

She doesn't get ten feet in the door before I start to yell, "How could you throw out MY WATCH BOXES!!!" She looks at me like I am .

She's starts to giggle and says" Do you really think I would throw out your watch boxes? I'm not stupid. I put them in two drawers nobody is using in the guest dresser."

Ahhhh, Did I mention how smart my wife is! All's well that ends well!

Anyone else have a similar near heartache or worse, have had your loved one accidentally (or on purpose) throw out your watch boxes/papers!
