    Since my children were small, I have always reserved a drawer(usually somewhere in the kitchen) and we all called it the Bermuda Triangle. It was intended for "odds and ends",small items that nobody knew where to place them. From single socks to strange looking little parts of unknown things, it was never known who put them there. My grandchildren are teenagers and know about the Bermuda Triangle. I believe the gremlins that live here also do, as well. It was often the first place one of us would check out when we couldn't locate something we were searching for.

    I call him George. He hides things in plain sight and also steals one sock from each pair.

    Check online for manuals. I was able to find the manual for my machine at the manufacturer website :)

    When we were growing up we had a ghost named George in our house. He was a gentleman who had died in the house before we lived there. As we grew we blamed everything on George. My younger sister moved out and George followed her, I guess he liked her. I wonder if George is still around...
