Anyone here that is psychically good at locating lost objects?

Long shot but I've seen threads before so...

Can anyone tell me where my door key is?

I don't think it's in your house, but on a table you use in a place you visit semi regularly, under something else there (eg a magazine or letter).

ilovebagpuss · 08/07/2023 23:20

In a coat you haven't worn for a while or handbag you only use occasionally?
Under the car seat

Someone once told me that the best thing to do in a situation like this is to stop looking for the thing you can’t find, and start doing general tidying up. It’s worked for me lots of times since.

My desk at work is a slight possibility. Although sadly I visit 5 days a week which is more than semi regularly 😩 I will definitely check on Monday

It's in a shoe.

St Anthony has helped me many a time to be fair. I will try him. Don't know why I didn't think of him. Well I do... basically the key is either lost elsewhere or it's somewhere bizarre in my house.

Was hoping someone with the vision could help, but St Ant is a good shout.

It's not under the fridge but will recheck the sofa!

😂 are you insane? It genuinely baffles me there are still people this world who think praying to a ‘saint’ will help them find something they misplaced!

Plant pot.

Your shed or garage

Don't knock it until you've tried it 😂

I've asked him, will see

No garage and not been in the shed in months

St Anthony is your man but I don't think he's on MN

CherryRipe1 · 09/07/2023 00:05

You've dropped them in the street. Could be handed in to a police station, supermarket or left on a wall.

Blueberrycreampie · 09/07/2023 00:13

Are you on 'Nextdoor'? Very often I see people on there who've found keys so worth a try!

Curlycurls23 · 09/07/2023 00:25

@WWYDIYWMRN check it hasn't fallen inside any shoes!

Thistlelass · 09/07/2023 00:25

Whenever I lose my keys, which I do a lot, I consult with my spirit guides. I basically sit down and say I need your help with this one. Have never known it to fail. I generally am guided to where I have left them.

Briocheandbrie · 09/07/2023 00:38

I think St Anthony might be the ultimate spirit guide

DisaL · 09/07/2023 00:50

Have you checked between the mattress and foot of your bed? I've lost so many things there when I've put them on the bed and forgotten about them. The gap isn't big enough for them to fall through so they end up wedged in there.

CircleofWillis · 09/07/2023 11:28

Try your kitchen drawer.

Gelatelli · 09/07/2023 11:33

Bottom of a bag for life you've now packed away.

Brain says toaster?! Heart says look in the car.

It works though.

Have you tried it? Though you seem like the sort of person whose keys would never dare getting mislaid.

StAnthonysPA · 09/07/2023 12:29

They're quite close to your front door. Somewhere you've looked but not hard enough, perhaps behind a table leg or something where you'd have to look from just the right angle to see it. Or in/under a shoe or carpet edge.

TragicMuse · 09/07/2023 12:52

Different bag
Jacket or coat depending on what the weather was like
Clothes pocket that you've not worn since
In some shoes

Blueberrycreampie · 09/07/2023 12:56

When I lost a car key - our only one - I found it in my clothes peg bag - oh and I did pray to dear St Ant!

OneHundredOtters · 09/07/2023 16:30

Is it on a key ring? If not small things sometimes get stuck in the washing machine seal

In the pocket of your gym leggings?

SoSadForCav · 09/07/2023 16:35

@WWYDIYWMRN

how have you been getting in & out if the house these past few weeks?

why did you need your key last time you used it?
