For me it's usually sockets, i.e., for wrenches. Probably

driveway

mechanics leave them lying about while they tinker, then close the

hood

and forget them.

Oh, and tableware. In the last couple of years, I have found a

steak

knife, a table knife, a spoon, and so help me, two Forks in the Road.

How can a person lose tableware on the road? The most I ever find if I
am riding or walking is a shoe. I can never figure out how someone
loses one shoe. What were they doing when they lost that shoe? Isn't
losing a shoe, something you would notice in time to go back and get
it? Did it come off the foot of someone or was he/she carrying the
shoe. Did anyone ever lose one shoe? This has always been a mystery
to me. How does one lose one of their shoes on the road? HOW? I need
to know.
All Good Things,

Cecil Adams's straight dope on the one shoe thing:

Well, actually it's mostly conjecture with no satisfactory conclusion,
but a fun read.
