Shouldn't be particularly hard to get a new one.
Or was this, like, made of gold and molded to your guitar neck?

I've got one of those. It's class isn't it - much faster to adjust than the old-school ones, or the pencil and rubber band.

i'd die witout my capo,
but that's because i sing in a fukked up key
damn these vocal chords!
i have a really nice one ebcause i use it all the time. i invested in a kayser clamp capo, a RED one!!!
i once got a guy to hold his finger down when i didn't have one,
he and his brother took turns
they thought they were very tuff till their fingers started hurting after like 15 seconds

Ok earlier today I got a new one. Its okay, except they're kinda expensive for little things that a pencil and rubberband can replace. I payed 20 dollars for this!

Mine's a Jim Dunlop one, and I leave it on my extremely organised table.
I think the newest song I came up with doesn't need a capo, and then one on a different tuning and that's about it if I remember right. The only frets I ever put my capo on in standard tuning is 1st occasionally, 3rd more often than not, and I wrote a song with it on the 4th fret once.
However I don't play any covers with a capo on, though I can still sing in tune. It depends on what song I'm playing, but usually I have quite a strong voice bar illness and sore-throats.

superwinkie,
If you haven't found you capo yet, and your place looks anything like mine, it's probably under the couch or under the pillows and and the blanket on your couch.
You know, where you sit at night and play the guitar, while you're watching tv.
That's where mine usually ends up.
I hope this helps.

I frequently lose my capos' I suspect that my sister steals them 
, but I only pay like 6 euro for a cheap one, and it does me grand.

They do their job, but they wear out after a while. I'd say that they are worth what I pay for them.
