Maybe you should help it on its way.

Sock Gremlins (Soccus Grimulus) are small humanoid PESTS that are known for the habit of sneaking into people's homes at night and stealing exactly one sock per night, leaving most people with an odd pair of socks EVERY DAY !!! They are a plague upon the planet according to the Gnnome Research Institute and have become such a NUISENSE that many countries now legalise the sale of Anti-Sock Gremlin traps, which are very effective in capturing the tiny terrors. They are related to the Shoe Sprites but are far more destructive - they are the main reason you will never find a matching pair of socks.. ever..
