Lost...Trying to impress a new girlfriend, I 'borrowed' my mother's car. Dropping her off in London, I managed to lose the car keys between locking it and reaching the other side of the road. Utter humiliation followed as my mum took the train to London with the spare key...
What have you lost over the years?

this might be stretching the question, butfor a period of 11 years, i lost the ability to ride bicycles.
i learned how when i was 7, with my parents and their friend leading me around parking lots and that sort of thing. i seem to remember riding bikes with a friend through a graveyard once, and that's about it. then i grew out of my little bike, and didn't ride one again for a long time. when i was about 10 i tried to ride and couldn't for the life of me; ditto when about 15.
finally, aged 18, i decided i had to accept defeat and re-learn how to ride the damn things. it took much longer the second time round. i got laughed at a lot. but i finally learned, so there.
"like riding a bicycle," my fanny.
