The falling motion must be what opens them up. Once in a while the hole opens from the other direction and they fall back into ours but that can takes weeks or even months.

My most frequently "disappearing" hardware has always been an E-clip or TruArc ring, (Aka "Flywasher"). They seem to be the only mechanical object that can exceed the speed of light instantly. They are there, then not. You hear where they have been, sometimes 3 or 4 places, but their final resting point is always silent, which usually means "never to be found". It's instinct to look where you last heard the hit, but it's never there, and quite likely somewhere in the opposite direction.

A friend coined the name "Flywasher" and it fits so well that I have used it for about 60 years now. He was my partner in a vending machine business, and Seeburg Juke Boxes used many E-clips and TruArc rings in their mechanisms. Somehow, he always managed to avoid any major repairs on them and left them for me to fix, likely because of the number of these "Flywashers" in the mechanisms.

Since then, I have always kept large assortments of all versions and sizes of these in divided boxes. I have learned to just get another one out of these boxes and not even try to look for them when they suddenly break the speed of light in front of me. I have magnets in my dust collectors, and magnets on telescoping wands, even a broom with magnets, but rarely do these flywashers turn up on one of those magnets. If they do, I just put them in one of the divided compartments of these boxes, to give them a second chance to hide better the next time that I try to use them.
