When they truly do disappear in the machine, what's happened is most likely that one got pulled through the seal in the front or rear of your dryer drum. On most machines, this "seal" is in fact a strip of felt. Small objects can make it through.
This is also why the bottom of your dryer's blower motor housing is probably full of buttons and loose change. Mine was, on the machine that came with my house. I got nearly nine bucks out of it when I took it apart.

This is why I now buy socks that all look alike. If I lose one, I lose one pair. If I lose two, I still only lose one pair.

This is why I never wear matching socks.

I feel like I'm the only person on Earth who has never lost a sock.

Check for Tupperware lids.
Socks somehow magically become lids when lost in the dryer... Or so I've heard.

Me and my wife share socks. They are all black, all exactly the same. Who got time for sorting socks?
