Uh Oh! My Milwaukee Went Missing: Friend or Foe?
Let's face it, losing your trusty Milwaukee drill is a bummer that can leave you feeling like you just got tackled by a rogue stud. But before you jump to conclusions and accuse your neighbor of harboring secret DIY ambitions, here's a guide to figure out if your Milwaukee friend has been kidnapped or simply misplaced.
Signs Your Milwaukee Might Be on a Heist:
The Bermuda Tool Triangle: You haven't seen your Milwaukee since that mysterious trip to the "lost sock dimension" (a.k.a. the space between the couch cushions). Seriously, you've checked your toolbox, your car, and even under the fridge with the flashlight (because, who knows, maybe it sprouted wings?).
The Borrower Who Never Borrows Back: You vaguely remember lending your Milwaukee to that "friend" who promised to return it "super soon." Fast forward six months, and radio silence. This friend might have "borrowed" a little too permanently.
Witness Tampering (of the toolbox kind): Your toolbox looks like a crime scene. Screwdrivers are scattered, wrenches are missing in action, and your Milwaukee is nowhere to be found. This might be the work of a more sophisticated tool thief.
Hold on! Maybe It's Just a Misunderstanding:
The Great Memory Heist: Be honest, have you been using your Milwaukee a little too much on those late-night furniture assembly marathons? Confession time: Maybe you just misplaced it in a post-project haze. Retrace your steps and see if your Milwaukee buddy isn't hiding in plain sight.
The Borrower with Good Intentions (We Hope): Did you lend your Milwaukee to a responsible friend who actually does intend to return it? Give them a friendly nudge and see if it jogs their memory.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.

So, is it Gone or Just on Vacation?
Here's the good news: If you have a Milwaukee One-Key tool, you can use the app to track its location (assuming the thief didn't disable Bluetooth first). Bonus points if you reported it missing beforehand – the app can even lock it out!
But fear not, even for non-One-Key users! If you suspect foul play, filing a police report is always a good idea.
