that's going to be a specialized repair

[cellio]

When I did laundry a few days ago, I found a sock in the dryer that belongs to neither of us. I'm going to assume that no one broke into our house to do laundry, so that points strongly to another theory.

For the longest time I assumed that dryers ate socks (and sometimes expelled them as lint). But no! My dryer is apparently a sock transporter! But if so, the balance is way out of whack; I've lost many socks, but I believe this is the first deposit.

What kind of a repairman fixes that?

Although don't discount the burglar theory immediately.

Some guy broke into my friend's house about 12 years ago while she was at work, and did a load of laundry and stole a pair of her boyfriend's shoes, leaving his shoes behind. She knows he did laundry because he left a pair of underwear in the dryer and spilled laundry soap on the top of the washer.

Also ate some food out of the refridgerator. But only stole the one pair of shoes.

Maybe he was the hero of an action movie, on the run from the bad guys, and the shoes he had were pinching him?
