I've learned over the years to never give all my copies of anything away..........especially with the bunch I work with/for now. Things always get lost, misplaced, etc. And that habit has earned me the designation of "go to" person. I have one boss who, when he asks if I kept a copy, just gets a blank stare from me.
As they say Did, the road to &*(( is paved with good intentions. Don't you just wish sometimes that they didn't try to help? I've slowly trained my guys to understand that when I want/need help, I'll ask for it. Until then, don't touch anything that is my responsibility after they give it to me to handle. And when they try to handle it before giving it to me, I fuss and tell them to at least let me know they're doing it before they start. Sometimes I still get stuff to clean up after they've tried to get it done, but at least now they know they can ask me how or where something is before things get to out of hand when they want to do it themselves. And here lately, its turned into "what do you need from me to do this?" instead of I need you to get this together for me.
