    simple rules!
    1) no one borrows or uses it
    2) i never leave it unattended

    You'll love this one. During a very busy shift with a crisis happening on the unit one of the OB's asked to borrow my stethocope. After things calmed down I realized he never gave it back. I asked him about it the next day after searching the unit to no avail. He couldn't remember where he put it. He asked if I wanted him to buy me a new one. DUHHHH! Of course I never saw it..... Now when anyone asks I just say no. I'm going to try that keys and credit card line!
