@christophernolen1: The baby of the bunch picked up my pliars. He was so intrigued by them that I was a little jealous. I followed him long enough that he set them down for a minute and I got them back. I think he was just curious about the feel and texture of the rubber handles and wanted a chance to check them out thoroughly in a peaceful location 🙂. Unfortunately for him I just didn’t want to have to order another pair after how many have ‘disappeared’ over the years 😁. Now my suspicions have been confirmed though so there is that :).
