3/4" drive 12" long snap on extension with a proto 33mm impact on it.

That would have been for torqueing wheel nuts on a tandem truck,guy probably left it laying on the step/fuel tank.Blends in with the black step and is easily forgotten.Almost done it myself a few times.

bought a used jeep last winter, took it out four wheeling one day and on the way home kept hearing this clunk somewhere under the floorboards. then it got worse at every stoplight on the way home i could hear it when i came to a stop or took off. finally one light i hit the brakes a little harder than normal and i hear something louder than the norm as it hits something underneath. I look out my window and i see a socket rolling down the road. pull over and it is a cman deep well 5/8" 6 pt. must have been wedge between the skid plate and frame or something. guess wheeling must have worked it out.

about 6 years ago when we replaced our washing machine, we had to drag the new one down the stairs and a 7mm snap on wrench bounced out and fell down the stairs with us.

at the local auto yard where we get to pull our own parts, they sweep all the debris to one side when a row is cleaned. i found a 14mm craftsman socket, a rusty vice grip pliers, a no name pliers and a nintendo game lol

I bought a small block chevy to drop in my 47 chevy coupe, I was changing the intake manifold and when I lifted it off I found a 11/8" open end craftsman wrench laying in the lifter valley. not sure if it had ran that way before I got it but its in the tool box ready to use now.....
