Loads of things. Sometimes put away for safe keeping and I can't find it.
Also I've bought books and think I've lent them to a family member, they all deny it, can't find it and want to re-read for research or because re-reading series, so have to buy it again. Includes Discworld titles. And yes even Harry Potter
I had to re-buy a modern re-telling of Thomas the Rhymer (basically an old version simply expanded and nothing changed, but excellent). Not to be found.
A missing DVD that NO-ONE EVER borrowed eventually was sheepishly returned by the borrower.
Recently I've lost in the workshop:
- A 50W 2GHz rated 50 Ohms dummy load
- A brand new boxed Ku Band LNBF
- A remote of a brand new combo sat/TV receiver (fortunately remote of an older TV only receiver works 100%)
- A smallish old "boombox" dual cassette stereo FM/AM radio that FM went dead. That one was found by accident when looking for the dummy load.
