I am pretty sure that they go to the same place as teaspoons, ballpoint pens, earrings and spare sets of specs. I haven't managed to locate this place after many years of searching, so I suspect it is on another dimension, a parallel universe of lost miscellania, wherein lie my lottery and premium bond winnings no doubt. It's the land where my secret benefactor lives, having been trapped there in 1954 after a nasty encounter with a police phone box. If only he could get out, he would be able to bestow his largess upon me. ;o))

You are probably right. There are just too many coat hangers to account for the few missing socks.

Some socks are just not able to deal with their lot in life. 
Imagine if your purpose was to provide protection, warmth and adornment
to someone's feet! That's it,
all day, every day, day after day, you're sitting in a drawer waiting
to see if today is the day you're going to be taken out, pulled onto
one of the less pleasant parts of the human anatomy and then forced to
walk around all day. 

Most socks are ok with this.  They understand that they are
providing an important service and just get along as best they can,
knowing that one day they will wear out, possibly be used as a dust rag
for a little while then finally know the peace of resting for all
eternity with other worn out items.

Some socks, though, are hard-wired differently.  They feel deeply
the injustice of being at the bottom.  They believe they have a
lot more to offer and the stifling of their dreams is a constant
torture to them.  These are the socks that use laundry day as
their means of escape.   Many of these socks go on to more
fulfilling careers in biotechnology, interior design and property
management.  Some of these renegade socks are responsible for the
TV shows Saved by the Bell, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and
Survivor.

Have you considered the operating mechanism of a washing machine while loaded with your sock. I am not sure if it has a back way out. Good luck.

I think they turn into coat hangers and find their way to the nearest closet.

Some socks think they can make it on their own and escape during the last ten minutes of the drying cycle,through the air vent. Have you even seen a sock lying along the side of the road? These are the ones that don't make it. :)

Boy that is a great ???  I often wonder it myself.  Not only have I lost socks, I have lost nighties!  Now what the heck is that about?  I guess the laundry fairy comes and snatches them away when no one is looking!

Well, somebody has to be taking all of our stuff! It can't "just disappear!" (or can it.....hmmmm) I'd like to see that huge pile of stuff she has!
