How can you lose a keyboard?

You don't have kids, do you?
I do... my 10 year old son lost a brand new pair of Under Armor shoes two weeks ago. Gone. Poof.

It was maddening as hell, but then I realized that I have lost bigger more expensive things as well. Also, I was a kid too... So I took a deep breath and he used his birthday money to buy himeself a new pair. I didn't have to raise my voice... he just "knew" not to test on this.

Yeah I do.
Issues that are trivial at the level of the individual become logistics headaches when you scale out to thousands or tens of thousands of individuals.
