My Escort is a black hole!

Besides just a pit to pour money into my Escort lately has developed a black hole.
 
I keep dropping little hex head bolts and washers etc and they don't hit the ground and I can't find them for love nor money. 
 
This has been happening a lot so today I thought i'd water blast the engine bay to find all the missed bolts and washers etc but nothing.
 
NOTHING!!
 
Is it just me or there seems to be a localised black hole in my engine bay!
 
Thanks for letting me vent!

Probably gone to where all the missing socks go.  
 
Engine mounts are a good place to start.

You need a kid with small hands to get into the engine mounts.
Between the x member and the rack is another black hole.

I had both kids under there looking for stuff but all they did was  fight with the spiders!

Maybe it's the spiders that are nicking them??

My Escort is a black hole when it comes to money!!!!
I have found out that the term "budget" means a lot of different things to many people
