My missus lost her favorite hairbrush, spent hours looking for it, eventuality gave up and bought a replacement. Of course, it wasn't as good as the old one (don't ask.....I haven't a clue!!!) Naturally I found it about 6 months later when I needed tools from the house toolbox.

You're definitely not alone.
It's those darn pixies one of our spaniels spends hours watching & chasing.
They hide everything in this house!

I have a naughty pixie too - Only mine is about 6'4"!!
#1 is terrible for walking round & randomly picking up an object, twiddling it then wandering off leaving it in some bizarre place - He does it subconscioulsy, you point it out to him, show him where he put, he really has no idea he has done it - It is actulay quite funny to watch, until of course you are looking for something that you know for a fact you left on the table/worktop/windowsill/shelf & you know for a fcat that he has deposited it in some place that may take days to find!

Once after spending hours looking for my gps i found it on the upstairs bathroom windowsill, I hadn't even been upstairs since getting home, he denied it was him & I shouted M"ust have been theose naughty pixies again" the name has stuck since!

Just wait 'til #2 & 3 follow his example you'll be out numbered & outflanked .

It is due to the lack of oxygen at that altitude 'fraid.

Now why did I start posting here.......................................................................

 

[tyred]

The main reason I took to wearing my specs all the time was because I could never find the damn things.

I managed to lose a car once in Dublin airport car park

And on a slightly similar line, my mum has always had a habit of "putting things away so we know where to find them" - roughly translated, it will never be seen again.
