#166078 - it's not likely, but it does happen.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I once had all my parts cabinets mounted against a wall on the other side of which was the room in which my boys played their various games. My elder son once dropped something, and it slid into a small gap in the baseboard. Having had this happen before, he pulled off the baseboard and reached underneath, to where he thought he'd dropped the whatever-it-was. In the process he raised the lowest cabinet and, ultimately, tipped over 24 cabinets, each holding 30 drawers of components. This not only tipped over the entire wall of cabinets, but also broke many dozens of the drawers. It's been nearly 20 years, but I'm still occasionally finding parts in remote parts of that basement room.
