You guys know gnomes. The little fellas are only dependable for one thing, and that's mischief. Gnomes are like a tiny version of the Mafia: they insinuate themselves into everything, usually without the general populace knowing.
Here's the general routine for a sock gnome:
At Gnome Central, locate your washer and dryer on the GSC (gnomish supercomputer).
Using advanced technology and the RFID tags previously placed into your socks at the factory by RFID gnomes, who are also everywhere, the gnomes pick out socks that look appealing and will sell for much money.
Select some tools. Popular choices are grappling hooks, crowbars, and squeaky shoes.
Hop in the Gnomemobile and drive to your house.
Sneak in through a window, making sure to knock out dogs and/or small children with tranquilizer darts. These are removed once the gnomes are inside — they wouldn't want people to find the darts and analyze the tranquilizers, as gnomes are also years ahead with their chemistry.
Using the backdoors built into your washer and dryer by backdoor gnomes at the factory, enter the machine.
Make away with socks, making sure not to take too many of the same kind — wouldn't want to make prices fall by flooding the market with Abe Lincoln socks. Gnomes are also economics geniuses.
Sell the socks, either on eBay or through the sock black market.
Buy Huey Lewis and the News albums. Have a fun evening.
Defensive tactics:
Set out gnome traps around your home. Clever as gnomes are, they cannot resist getting a new hat . Bait the traps accordingly, but make sure to conceal them well. Another option is find the backdoor in your dryer and reëngineer it such that it isn't openable from the inside. Make sure to leave a snack in the dryer; gnomes bite viciously if they haven't had a snack in a while should you free them without the aid of very strong gloves.

I have never ever lost a sock. How can you lose a sock?
I once thought I lost one (good ol' stripey stars girl) when I had to use a laundromat earlier this year [my machine blew up].
I was devastated [ok, it wasn't that bad], given I'd never lost a sock before, and she was not just an ordinary sock, but Stripey Stars Girl - who was a black knee-high toe-sock with different colours for each toe, and some stripes, and a glitter star or two.. [Trust me, that'll be cool to you too when you're older and wear business suits most days and work in a lab or in the field the other days ..]
I went back to the laundromat the following week - to find a 'found' notice above the machine I'd used! Stripey Stars Girl was found ... so the socks go to cute nice men apparently : ) - who use them to pick up women...

An old episode of Ren & Stimpy already solved this mystery. All the missing socks pile up in a parallel universe where only exact change buses back to our world reside.

Under/behind your washer or dryer, kicked under a chair or couch.
Sometimes they a stray goes missing on its' own(these socks are
made for walking). Then there's the mate that just can't be found.

Read the Childrens book the Sock Snatchers by Lorna Balian.
You can find it in your local library and it will at least make you laugh. It was one of my kid's favorites
