[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1690281, member: 33915"] Once when hunting in Colorado with a friend in 2012 I ended up with all my gear and my friends gear in the back of a Toyota FJ Cruiser. It was already packed full of my stuff and I wasn't expecting to have to deal with his stuff too. Anyway we had just come back to the truck from a long day hunting and hiking and very tired. It was also dark. I had sat my rifle up against the truck then took my pack off and putting my gear in and his gear and forgot about the rifle. Also this was the last day we hunted. When I went to leave the graveled parking area I first backed up and heard a Clunk against the truck and it felt like I rolled over something so I stopped. Unfortunatly it was my rifle. I had drove right over the scope and rifle with a back tire. It was a Leupold scope and other than leaving a scratch on the scope it still works as does the rifle. I think it may have torqued the mount or something as when I first tried to adjust the elevation I could hardly get it to move but after removing it from the gun I was later able to adjust it OK. As to forgetting something, years ago I once bought a really expensive pair of sunglasses. I went on a trip and had to stop at a pay phone to call someone (before CP -Cell phones). I was Waaay down the road before I remembered them and figured it a waste of time to go back. I have never bothered to buy a expensive pair of sunglasses since. [/QUOTE]
