What is the largest thing you've ever lost doing laundry?

Today, either my washer or my dryer ate a whole hand towel. Four went in, and only three came out.

I know laundry machines are wont to snack on the occasional sock, but when did they start eating larger items?

A whole, fluffy hand towel!

Is this the beginning of the apocalypse? Should I start to hoard commodities?

I think I need to rush to the store and buy all the canned beans.
