James,<br><br>I've made the assumption that I lent it. Safer that way. My wife and children wouldn't have taken it. Two most likely suspects are my father and my brother. I may have loaned it to one of them, or one of them have needed it and just took it (we all have copies of each other's keys). If it was one of them, I'll get it back....eventually. Even it was one of them, and I never see it again--no worries. I value being on good terms with them more than I value the axe. Especially if it was my father, I probably have more of his tools than he does.<br><br>Andy
