<p>[QUOTE="ZeeFinds, post: 4434857, member: 16546"]So here's the supernatural conclusion that I suspected based on the erie coincidences... and just to recap the reason for the vibes from the other side: first we had tree service on our house two weeks before going to my Dad's birthday on Friday night a few hours south of where we live, and on Saturday I went to an estate sale that was very close to my childhood home (my folks live in a different place now) and the recently deceased owner of the home with the estate sale ran a tree service and so that's how I came into possession of the log/cog yard art item–it got jammed in a log splitter and that's how it was originally found.</p><p><br /></p><p>When we returned home Sunday we found our cat in bad shape after being hit by a car and I quickly unloaded the car to take him to ER Vet and remember placing the log/cog under a table near the edge of my garage. The log/cog went missing on Monday when I forgot to shut the garage door and there was a tree service removing two trees from directly across the street. There was also another tree service down the street on Monday, then the next day, and then my next door neighbor two days later (it was like tree service bonanza on my block). My wife agrees I put it on the garage floor and there were a few pieces of oak bark where it was laying. We don't have oak trees anywhere on the block. We have a sycamore tree and the bark is much thinner. I remember pointing at the spot beneath the table and saying, "oh no, it's gone! Someone stole it when I left the garage door up."</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, a week after the log went "missing," my mom dropped off 4 chairs we left at their house down south because they wouldn't fit in our car and they have an SUV and a truck that could transport them. My parents have a second lake cottage that is east of our town and is on the way to their cabin so Mom dropped off the 4 chairs <i>AND</i> she brought the log/cog because she said we left it at their house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why do I remember placing the log/cog on the floor of my garage when we returned home Sunday, and why are there oak bark fragments on the floor where I remember setting it down and these fragments were confirmed to match the oak log today and not the sycamore tree on our property.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told my Mom, "You're going to think I'm crazy but I already brought that home."
