Oh yeah we can completely relate! We lost my sons wallet the other day - searched the house, car and surrounding area for an hour or more only to find out that my son did the right thing and hid his wallet in his hiding spot since it has money in it - only to forget that he hid it there hahaha. We did find it and had a good laugh but also a lesson in that we should put things in a small number of places so we don’t have to search everything for an item.
Hopefully you don’t lose this thing again!
