I once left my garage door open for 10-20 minutes while doing yard maintenance in the back. When I returned, my Cuisinart Ice Cream Machine had disappeared; it had been stolen.

The machine was stolen, but not the bowl used to create ice cream, which I had placed in the freezer. They didn’t take it, so they couldn’t use it to create ice cream. Eight months later, my wife bought me a completely new ice cream machine. I now have one ice cream maker and two bowls.

Around 6 months later, I left my garage door open again and walked in to close it. Right in the center of the garage, I discovered my old ice cream maker. Now I’ve got two.
