Boomerang, +2

this is my new favorite magic item

So on a hit, it doesn't return to the thrower's hand?  I guess that makes sense, but it seems like an expensive piece of equipment for just one ranged hit that you must either retrieve, or else hope the enemy doesn't pick it up off the ground on their turn (free object interaction).

Why are boomerangs not considered thrown weapons.  They have the ranged property but not thrown. So I can use the sharp shooter feat with them and the Archery fighting style. But not the thrown weapon fighting style. Makes no sense.

 Then make it make sense. It's your game. These are guidelines, change them as you please.

 How is that any different from the woes of a +x Javelin or any other +x Ranged weapon? The only time it's different is +x Ammunition, which stops being "magical" (aka loses the bonus) when it hits an enemy (which seems pretty stupid, but that's a different topic).
