There goes my windscreen...

As I drove off to work today all I could think about was the predicted warm weather today and the idea that i'd be driving with the top down on the way home.

Of course, then flashed into my brain was the image of me removing the windscreen to put in the childseat last nite. I remembered removing the screen... but not ever putting it away.

..I left it on the roof last nite.. and drove off.

So somewhere, out there, is a windscreen on the side of some lonely road.

Oouchh. Did you try to retrace your steps and see if you get lucky? Stranger things have happen. I lost my wedding ring at the beach, went back the next day with a metal detector and found.

I am making a trip to NJ

Since people are losing their windscreens...

I will keep a look out on ebay if someone picked it up.

Just backtrack, the first turn you took you lost it, is my guess.

Better that you forget the windscreen than the childseat (with the kid in it) along the side of the road.

^^ that sucks. Especially if you paid full price for it . Definitely check ebay for a cheaper replacement.

I've done that twice.. sort of. Once, we went biking and I was putting the bike back into the car and took off the front wheel and drove off... luckily someone flagged me down and pointed to my wheel sitting in the street .

The other time... we were coming back home from HomeDepot with a new counter-top on the roof and it slid off . It was my Dad's wagon fortunately, but he wasn't happy with the crease on his hood or the scratches on his counter-top We giggle everytime we walk into their kitchen
