@bhm: Hahaha! That would've freaked me out just as much! Whoever he/she is has a mean sense of humor!
One time I just got home from Japan. I'd stuck my Nightwing minimate into the inside pocket of my down jacket. I got home and put it on the couch, then went to dinner... I got back to the couch to spend some more quality time with my (then) favourite minimate, but it just wasn't there. I looked everywhere and spent the next few days searching, looking back and forth and backtracking, but I never found it.
To this day I still miss him. The only thing I have of him to remember is one of his Escrima sticks...
