Changed my mind about the 'lost sock' thing in the dryer

I always thought it was just a joke or bad laundry habits. Then I pulled my dryer out to fix a rattle last month. Behind it, I found a pile of 14 socks, a receipt from 2020, and three pens. They were all wedged in a tiny gap between the drum and the housing. My wife said, 'See? I told you it eats them.' Now I check that spot every six months. Has anyone else actually found their missing stuff back there?

Pull the fridge out next, you'll find a whole lost civilization of fridge magnets and takeout menus. Makes you wonder what else is hiding in plain sight around the house. What's the weirdest thing you've found behind an appliance?

My friend found a petrified orange slice behind her stove, @jason_fisher4, which is just grim.
