Our club president Big Jose had a roll of official coils in his desk..his stepdaughter needed a stamp to mail a postcard or something and tore a stamp off his roll...she has not been allowed near his stamp room since !!
I have a bag marked "Postage", containing current commemorative stamps for everyday use, on mail to SCF buddies, and the like. One day I just couldn't find it anywhere. My husband found me rifling through my usual disorganised mess, surrounded by loose album pages, glassines, envelopes and allsorts. "What are you looking for?" he asked. "A stamp!" I replied crossly. Oh how he laughed....
We have a small stock book in the 'letter & card' drawer, that I top up occasionally with mint stamps from collections etc acquired, for my wife and boys to use. That way I do not get them going through the 'collection'. Nothing has gone missing to date :-).
As a teen I had standing orders to the family that they touched my stamps at their own peril. Same for my coin collection. My grandmother was noted for scrounging up anything and I figured that my stamps and coins were fair game in her world.
