I hate when this happens

It was a nice warm sunny day. After work, I decided to head to the airport to do a bit of cleaning. After all, it's time to get this RV-7 project back in gear.   I start moving things around then, all of a sudden, I hear a crash. It couldn't be! Can it? But I keep them in a locking storage bin!

Yes! It WAS!

Why did I leave the bin open? Oh well, they'll go in a misc bin somewhere until I feel like sorting them.
