I don't know how it happens--but it has happened again. My family room has eaten some toys. 
Normally, I'm very good at finding missing stuff, whether that be my husband's cell phone or my younger son's single shoe. But there seems to be a Bermuda-Triangle-effect in my family room, and certain toys that come into the room are never seen again.
It's happened more than once with the kids' Game Boy, but that was quite a while ago. Fortunately, that did turn up, and the family room's appetite has turned to less-expensive, smaller toys. We saw this happen last spring after my second-grader received a bunch of Bakugan toys for his birthday. These little balls are slightly smaller than a Ping-Pong ball, and we have no idea where most of them ended up, but they were last seen in the family room.
Even worse, the family room ate two monster truck toys that didn't even belong to my kids. A little boy was here to play with my son while his mom and I attended choir practice, and he brought along a bag of small monster trucks. They were about the size of a deck of cards. He knew that he had brought five trucks here, but when it was time to pick up the toys and go home, he could only find three. I've moved the furniture, looked in the toy box, and checked in the crevices of the couch. Those trucks are nowhere to be found. (I didn't come up with any of those missing Bakugan either.)
