I liked the idea of fairies being the culprits but each to their own :)

I think that the LW are not completely random, they definitely return
your own stuff to you but I don't believe it is necessarily in the
same place.

Ah, now a candidate for a new law. A lost item always turns up the
moment after you have purchased it's replacement.

Cheers,
Steve
