I wonder mccoy have u considered an alternate explanation for losing and finding things and why this occurs?

In lack of metaphysical explanations, the above losses were due probably to senile absent-mindedness or memory loss.

There may be some deeper explanations but I have no glimpses on that.

Well I must say that the guru plays hide and seek with our material possessions to make us recognize our own suspicious characterizations of others. Come to find out it is often ourselves that loose things... not other people stealing them. But I honestly believe the gurus get a bit of a laugh out of the ordeal somewhat as Sri Yukteswar did when Yogananda did not take necessary precautions to watch his cauliflowers.

I could personally relate several stories in which 'things' mysteriously disappeared to provide needed lessons in attitudes and behavioral modification was given by higher forces only to reappear when needed changes occurred in spiritual growth.
