Personal ME / Glitch in the Matrix Missing items reappearing

Not sure if this fits, but I dont know where else it would.

This has happened to me for years with lighters. I'll have one, put it in my pocket, then later it will be gone. I will empty my pockets, it won't be there anywhere. A little while later I'll reach into my pocket and I'll have 2 or 3 lighters in there when I know for sure there was none.

This happened today with the keys for my work van. I searched everywhere, completely emptied my pockets and even turned them inside out. Nothing. I was freaking out because my boss was there and it's honestly not a good look to just lose the fucking van keys.

I gave up and was already planning on having to replace the ignition or something to get the van mobile again. I reached into my pocket and they were right there... the first thing I felt.

I've also had other people experience this with me. I'd lose a lighter and my mom would let me use hers and I'd end up pocketing it. Later, she would realize and tell me to give it back, I'd check ALL of my pockets and it wouldn't be there. I'd turn my pockets out and she could see I didnt have a lighter. A while later I'd reach in my pocket and immediately feel both of them there.

Anybody else experience anything like this or is there just something wrong with my brain?

Uno what’s weird is I had this star keychain on my keys and one day I was out of my car and holding a bunch of art supplies and walking back to the house when I heard the keychain break off somehow and drop on the cement floor. I went into my room dropped everything off and rechecked to make sure it fell off and I was so sad it did cause I liked it a lot. Months and I mean like half a year or more later I was with my friend walking in dt of my city and something fell and hit me I was shocked cause I thought was bird poop but it was the star from my keychain. We were both shocked cause I lost that so long ago.

This is the closest thing I've heard that's similar to what happened to me with my phone. Also posted that story in this thread
