Where? Where do they disappear too? And why just the one? Why never in pairs?

Brand new pair of Troy Lee's. Only done a couple of rides. Get home and bung them in the wash with all the rest of my mucky gear. Theres definitely two of them. Take them out of the wash.... one missing. Again. Its not the first time this has happened. Far from it.

Is it possible that there is a fault in the space/time continuum in my kitchen. Because this is now the only logical solution. And not as Mrs Binners said 'have you had a proper look? Or a man look?

I think theres a galactic anomaly next to the sink. One that likes gloves. Oh... and Sealskinz socks too!

Any other theories?

The last glove I lost was in the wife's knicker drawer, velcro'd to a pair of her finest apple catchers... 😯

The rather mundane answer is that your washing machine probably ate it. Small things like socks/gloves etc get 'sucked' behind the seal of the drum by the door.

Zionists creep in to your house and steal them.

(Topical satire, ladies and gentlemen!)

Its not an excuse. I actually now own so many single gloves that I'm sure I can string a pair together. Then I can turn up with odd gloves on and look like all 'quirky' and 'Cookie' like a character in a Jennifer Anniston Rom Com, or something. I might wear odd socks too, just to prove how whacky I am.

Mainly I'm pretty miffed that they were new gloves though. Typical! 😥

Advertise - someone somewhere may have the complementary hand to the one you have ... "Troy Lee left desperately seeks Troy Lee right..."

I seem to always lose the right one. Turned up for a ride with two gloves the same colour but for the same hand. Don't try and make that work 😉

I can only assume our dog eats them. He's a labrador so he'll pretty much eat anything. Not sure how he's getting into washing machine tho..
