How not to lose a USB drive

Background
Flash drives are getting smaller and smaller, and at the same time their capacity keeps getting bigger and bigger. All of this means the chances of losing your flash drive, and of that loss being disastrous, keeps rising. [from http://www.spurgeonworld.com/blog/archives/2006/11/no_more_misplac.html]

Once upon a time, on a sunny evening with a distant rainbow in the east, sitting on the wet green lawn near the roses, Albert and Trebla went into an argument AGAIN...

Albert: For boys - embedd the flash drive into a regulation sixteen pound bowling ball.

Trebla: For girls - USB drive in solid platinum and loaded with 350 white diamonds.
