People with toddlers often keep the knobs off as a form of baby proofing, when the kiddos are tall enough to reach but not old enough to listen. It's then easy to lose a knob that isn't in the right place.

I completely forgot until now that my daughter used to steal the knob from our dishwasher on a near daily basis. I remember confiscating it one morning and accidentally bringing it to work in my pocket.

Oh, that's brilliant! I guess its better to lose it all together than to give a toddler access to fire/a really hot thing

Yep. They also sell childproof knob covers for them, you have to pop open the lid to reach them.

I'm embarrassed it took a few times of the toddlers walking off with the knobs inside the covers before we realized we could just... not leave the knobs on. I blame the fact that they never slept more than 90 minutes at a time...

I think if you have young children you shouldn’t have a high end range like this (especially gas). A standard range with the knobs at the back where they’re much harder to reach would be a lot safer.

Sometimes people have kids after moving into a place/buying things, too.
