Look what I found....unbelievable really

[Mark Doiron]

I've been a Tech for over 30 years and enjoying the HELL out of my Gladiator! I once had a customer complain about noises in one of the rear doors of their 2014 Tahoe. Pulled door panel off and found a #20 Torx Screwdriver and about 20 of the same size interior screws. (used on interior panels) The line worker probably saw it was quitting time and just said "all hell I just get another one Tomorrow".......... It happens ALOT! I'm more on board with the Flux Capacitor Bolt.

I had a rattle when on washboard roads in my JK years ago. Then one day a stubby screwdriver fell out on the driver's floorboard. Snap-on. Definitely not from my mostly Craftsman tool collection.

Even more alarming is a story from back in my USAF days during Vietnam War while assigned in Thailand. I was working on a radio problem on an F-4 fighter. Sitting in the rear ejection seat, which was where the radio itself was mounted, I dropped my screwdriver. In the flying world, lost tools are a serious problem. They are accounted for daily and if you're missing a tool, a big search is begun until it is found. Anyway, my yellow-handled screwdriver fell on the floor of the cockpit and rolled under the ejection seat. Now, the seat is pinned so us poor specialists wouldn't do something dumb like launch it while sitting on the ground. But, still, I was nervous as I reached under that ejection seat while actually sitting in it (there isn't much room in the cockpit of a fighter). Anyway, swept my hand around until I felt the screwdriver. And pulled out a green-handled one! Reached back under to find my yellow-handled one. The pilots used to tell us that when they flew upside down, all kinds of stuff fell out onto the cockpit Plexiglas.
