Vape pen fell between driver seat and center console

[IPRoutes]

Found it with my endoscope/snake light. Didn't need to remove the seat. It was right inside the opening's inner side wall. Used the snake light's hook adapter to lift it up a little to pry it out.

There are some seat and console gap fillers and some plastic storage contraptions. Thinking of getting those.

This should prevent further losses......

@Like-a-virgin and just read all the threads on here about simple projects that end up spiraling out of control. Plenty of opportunity to learn and get humbled working on these things.

I hate Jeep for doing that to us... I was 30 min late to work because I dropped my damn key fob in there, but it didn't even go under the seat or the carpet, it somehow went INTO the center console, there's a little gap there and it bounced right in. I was absolutely losing it... ?

I am thinking of duct taping that hole.

I lost a 9mm bullet down there one day while clearing my chamber. Still haven't found it.

Thank you for this thread!!!

I'm glad the OP got his vape pen back and there are some great stories and suggestions in this thread. I never knew about the hole in the center console that seems to swallow items. What fresh hell is this and I find it hard to believe that this gap wasn't a concern during the design? No one in the pitch meetings ever lost something between the sets?
Found nothing cool like my missing key fob but I did find a bunch of cigarette butts. Marlboro light 100's best I can tell.

I didn’t even know what 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 sockets meant until recently.

That's ok, after a few years, you'll get to the point of - dang, now which row was the metric again?

And that's not counting my 3/4" drive set.

Dude, I just asked you in another post if I’ll be buying more tools! ???

LOL - that is the result of having a shop in the mid-70s, then winning a contest and getting a set of tools at deep discount as part of the prize (Thank you, Plymouth!) and then working in shops as a mechanic off and on for decades.
That's definitely not an over-night collection.
And that doesn't include the stuff upstairs in the wood shop or a few tools in my garage (or in the house)
Maybe I'm a tool hoarder but when I want a tool for the job, I want it.
I have peg boards of specialty tools, a couple of tubs of Kent Moore tools from an AMC shop, valve and seat tools, CCing equipment, boring bar, rod hone, cam bearing installing tools, a cabinet of body tools, ugh. My wife keeps asking "what the #$@ am I going to do with all of this stuff someday?"
And I tell her - call Ian in Indiana, let him sell it off for you - and he can keep whatever he wants.

You just gave me an idea for a fun thread. Maybe you and I will be the only ones that find it fun. Who cares. I’m doing it.
