Weird things that appear in your house

We’ve had a number odd things that have suddenly appeared in the house with no- one seemingly having brought them in . However , 2 days ago’s arrival takes the biscuit .
We are a house of adults with me and dh and 4 adult kids ( aged 18 to 28 ) and a 13 year old .
Whilst folding some washing I came upon a small peach coloured long sleeve t shirt with a flower pattern at the front which was for ages 12-18 months . It’s not one of my children’s from years ago ( I’ve long since thrown things away and anyway I don’t remember this top ) and the label is for a shop I don’t recognise .
I have asked all my children and none have any inkling how it got there . Should add that my elder children’s friends don’t have children so it wasn’t somehow transplanted home with them either .
The more I think about it the more puzzled I am !!!!
Has anyone else experienced any unexplained transplanted items in their home that they can’t rationalise ?

Has anyone in the family gone swimming lately? That sounds like the sort of thing that a frazzled parent could leave behind in a changing room. It could then mistakenly get picked up by the next occupant when they are shoving their day clothes quickly into a holdall to put in the locker while they swim.

I went swimming once and when getting dressed after I couldn't find my trousers, hunted everywhere and the lady next to me on the Chas going bench found them in her bag, so it's easy done.

I’ve gone swimming recently yes and unpacked my own bag and didn’t find a little top in the bag

one of my friends had a cat who would steal off the neighbours’ washing lines, so was a potential theory!
