Apart from dust bunnies, Christmas cards (yes it has been a long time since I vacuumed under the sofa) and playmobil items?

Something that has savagely eaten your fingers leaving you unable to update us

For the people saying Red Rum, he was never missing. He lived a long and happy retirement, much of it in leafy Cheshire very near to where I live. You're thinking of Shergar.

The OP seems to have been killed and eaten by whatever she found anyway.

A🐹hamster. My cousin found our missing hamster about a week after inside our sofa. The boys were so pleased to have him back.

I had to pick up my settee yesterday because a cat brought in a mouse. I found a pair of shoes I had forgotten I had. Bleugh! Mouse corpse was found today upstairs. Also bleugh!

@PurplePeopleEater76

The passport you desperately needed to go on holiday but gave up and had to spend over £200 and take a day off work to visit the passport office in person, only for your kid to find it literally poking out from under the sofa 5 minutes after you get back.

Oh, no, wait, that was me,

Me too except it was under a bed.
