I have got one of multi-drawer cabinets and one of you has been in and nicked the 100nF drawer!
Come on now, give it back and I'll say no mre.

 

Please keep us posted!

 

Same thing that happened to 10mm.

 

Same thing that happened to 10mm.

There must be a worldwide conspiracy on 10mm sockets. I needed to put a new battery in my truck yesterday and got out my "go" tools, and my 10mm was missing too. Needs to be an investigation on this.

 

The street value is going up every day!

 

I have to ask Amalia. She's doing a (suspiciously) silent but effective work with the vacuum cleaner.

 

Ask Giorgio A. Tsoukalos I'm sure he has a perfectly good explanation.

I found the culprit trying to sell off the goods. No wonder they are stealing them, look at the prices...

Note that these are leadless SMD capacitors! They are very rare and hence the price!

$21 for a small pile of useless caps. Pretty amazing.

Worse yet the leads are cut.

Water them, they grow back.

That‘s the useless part. They just want them for the retry colors and shapes, which is OK I suppose but $21 is a ripoff.

 

Steampunk is a real stretch!!

 

There was a time in my life (broke student) when I would keep stuff like that because in a real pinch you could solder new leads to them.

 

When I was a kid I scavenged parts from old electronics, but I found if desoldering was inconvenient, circuit boards crumble quite easily under the jaws of Diagonal Cutters. Then you just heat up the lead a bit and the remaining bit just falls right off. Not really that much trouble. Then again I never tried to sell them on etsy at a 10x markup as novelty items from an era 100 years before their time either.
