P.J.: Yep, sometimes there are "unlucky streaks". Just relax and don't
handle anything critical this week.
Malcolm:
I don't know how old your eldest, but tethering (what can be tethered) can
be a [partial] solution.
I am impressed by the simlicity of the solution for tethering kids' gloves
that is (was?) widely used in Russia. You take an thick thread/thin rope,
or better yet an elastic band that sometimes is used as a waistband in
pants (a narrow one, 1/4" - 1/3"), and attach two gloves/mittens to its
ends. It looks like this:

Then you insert that band through the sleeves of the winter coat so
that the gloves are hanging out of the sleeves. You can also saw the
middle of the tether to the back of the coat (inside).
But, of course, if the coat is lost, ... ;-)
I would guess there might be some tethering solutions for cell phones...
Like you have for the lens caps.
Cheers,
Igor

havoc, on everything from computer equipment, to my car, to now the LX.
I was going to say on the bright side that I hadn't managed to destroy my
cell phone, but then remembered that I did actually break a landline phone
last Sunday.
I think I just want to go to bed and stay there until Jan 1st to avoid
destroying anything else for the rest of the year.

Exceptionally annoying.
My eldest leaves things on public transport, this year alone it's two
'phones, an iPad and a coat, but we're not done with 2016 yet, so...
