I bought a fancy and expensive pair of hairdressers, for use during the lockdown, as it was so difficult to get a haircut. They never got used, they just disappeared and despite searching all the places I could think of, they never turned up.

Around the same time, I bought a red high capacity memory stick. That at least got some use, but likewise it eventually disappeared and likewise extensive searches never revealed where it was hiding.

A couple of weeks ago, the go to, very handy and favourite small paring knife disappeared. I searched cupboards, drawers, all the likely places where I might have used it and nothing. I even like a maniac searched the bins. This afternoon, unlike the other items, it decided to show itself. On the draining board their is one of those plastic draining racks for cutlery plates and today, I decided to give the kitchen sink, drainer, rack and etc. a good scrub up. There was the knife, just under the rack, perfectly aligned so it was invisible, under the edge of the rack.

I would never put it there - who or what goes round hiding these things?
 
I lost a camera lens - a 70-180 micro Nikkor zoom lens, which had cost about $1k. Nowhere. It's not tiny!
It was in a sitting room which is not used a lot, on the back of a sofa chair. But it was under a hat, an Indiana Jones style thing.
Obviously a hat on the back of a chair wouldn't be hiding anything!

Car keys must be the classic. I searched for several hours before realising t'other half had borrowed them and put them back in the pocket of the WRONG jacket - one I hadn't worn for weeks.

And if the TV controller goes AWOL, look in the fridge.
 
Those who have been following the Trevor Sinclair thread will get the intention of the point Harry.
 
Regarding these hairdressers you mention, don't they call out and ask for a cup of tea and a sandwich occasionally? :unsure: :LOL:
