I have a gremlin in the house

and it appears to be stealing all of my philips head screwdrivers. Whenever I go to look for one I can find 700 flat head screwdrivers but no philips. Time to buy another lot of them I guess...
 
These gremlins also frequent my house, as I have the same problem. They especially like the #2 philips head drivers, because when I do find one, it is a #1 or #3.
 
I can find them, but it's like a scavenger hunt. I tend to leave them all over the place, usually wherever I'm working on something.
I use the little one on my multitool whenever I need one quick, since it's always in my pocket or on my nightstand. Not long enough for working inside towers, though.

I also have this gremlin infestation you speak of. Nary a Phillips in my house but a sea of flat heads everywhere.
 
My shop gremlin loves the phillips screwdrivers almost as much as it loves tape measures. I have atleast a dozen of each and am lucky to find 1.
 
My gremlin steals tape measures. I bet I've purchased 50 over the last 20 years. I could probably come up with 3 right now. And they'd all be different brands.
