Wrenches have a way of wandering off into those little wormholes that socks
go into. A wrench isn't any good sitting in your tool box
100 miles away when your on a ride, so your going to have to take
it out of the toolbox sooner or later, and when you do, if the little
******* sees an opportunity, it's gonna make a break for it.


They go to the same Twilight Zone where the other sock went[1] and
are used for raw material for those dang clotheshangers that seem
to multiply in the closet.

Cheers!

[1] Actually, I think I know where the other sock went - you lost
one, so when you sort and pair your socks, you throw the odd one
back in the hamper and forget about it - there's really only the
one lost sock! (Kinda like that fruitcake that sits on the shelf
until you give it away next Xmas.) ;-)

"As physicists now know, there is some nonzero probability that any
object will, through quantum effects, tunnel from the workbench in your
shop to Floyds Knobs, Indiana (unless your shop is already in Indiana,
in which case the object will tunnel to Trotters, North Dakota).

The smaller mass of the object, the higher the probability.
Therefore, disassembled parts, particularly small ones,
of machines disappear much faster than assembled machines."
