I think leaving things behind is more common than one might think. When I switched to a newer truck once, I forgot to check under the bunk. Fortunately, all I had stored there was my carbonated water supply. But it was a substantial amount that I had and it made me mad at myself.
Another time I left an expensive pair of steel toed work boots behind the seat.
Now I triple check the truck if I have to move out.
Did I mention that I hate changing trucks? Lol
Only things I left behind, were on purpose lol.....1st I/we left the blower tip spliced into the passenger seat to blow out the cab......
2nd was my older WalMart microwave, I had no future need for (had another at home)
Several cheap hammers. My esteemed bolt collection for mud flaps n emergency repairs. Really not much else. I'm very particular when cleaning out the truck or using a loaner.
I left a bunch of insulin in the fridge in my last truck and I happened to be switching companies too and moving halfway across the country. I cleaned literally everything else out and double checked everything but the fridge. Theyβd already had the truck detailed when I called them a couple days later. It worked out ok but I was pretty mad at myself lol
After two long days driving through wind and a snowstorm today around Bozeman, my brother and I got to my house about 8:00 p.m. He unloaded his pickup on to the ground while I brought it into the house. I was hauling in a bag that had my spare pair of shoes and realized that I doubled and triple checked all the cupboards and cubby holes except one. That one drawer I never used and you could hardly see it underneath the refrigerator. I left a brand new pair of leather shoes in that drawer πππ
Oh well, they were tight and not broken in yet. I sent a text message to the head of the shop because the truck is being detailed and going back to the leaser by Friday. I told him to either give them to someone because they have never been worn or to just toss them. Got everything else out of the truck and home π

I recently switched into truck number three about a week ago, and truck number two about a month prior. I realized that I left my spare hazmat placards and a roll of clear tape in my driver seat seatback pocket when I unexpectedly moved into number two. Then I left two spare mudflaps while switching into truck three.
I really hope to be in my current truck for a long, long time...I don't wanna keep losing stuff! π
So what have you left behind when switching rigs?
