What Are the Most Common Things You Lose When Moving?

There’s a lot of hassle that comes with moving, one of which is misplacing stuff. Despite all your careful packing, you’ll inevitably lose some items. 

Keys

House and car keys are some of those items that disappear when you need them. We recommend having multiple sets of keys to avoid issues when getting into the house or car. 

Chargers

These are some of the last things you pack, usually in a rush. As a result, you lose or forget where you placed them. 

Wallet

There are a lot of places where you can accidentally leave your wallet. You can place it somewhere as you speak with your family or movers. 

Toiletries

These are often placed in a separate bag or box, yet people still lose it. It’s disappointing to discover your face wash or toothbrush missing after a long day of moving. 

Shoes or Slippers

After moving, people usually find out that their shoes and slippers are missing. 

Umbrella

While placing the boxes inside, you can leave the umbrella outdoors and forget to bring it inside. 

Kitchen Glassware

Glassware is fragile so you need to be cover them in bubble wrap. They are usually the last items to pack. Due to the lack of time, you can forget to pack them so you have to purchase new ones.

Medicines

You could leave them in your old home’s bathroom or your mover’s vehicle. 

Pets

Your pet can escape during a move. Ask someone to look after your furry friends while you’re moving house to make sure you don’t lose them.
