What’s the most valuable / important thing you’ve lost in your vert?

I was on my way to Guitar Center to exchange a non-functioning piece of equipment. Somewhere between 80 - 85 mph I guess I generated enough turbulence to suck the receipt out of the bag and out into the atmosphere. The item I needed to exchange cost just under $400.

Luckily I do enough business and know enough of the staff at the Guitar Center that they processed the exchange without the receipt, but it made me wonder what other folks may have sacrificed to the gods of wind.

My wife lost one of her rings, part of the wedding set, in the little slot between the console and the center stack. I learned how to take the console out.

My dyno results from Jannetty Racing. Yup, I was testing out the results of mods for myself and heard them take flight.

I don't have a Vert, but every time I get in my ZL1 I think I lose my mind with excitement, which causes a reaction between my cerebellum and my Achilles tendon resulting in my right foot becoming planted on the floorboard with nothing but an accelerator pedal between my foot and the floorboard.
