I am on the brink of tearing my house apart looking for a my son's waterproof coat. He wore it to scouts last week (and brought it home) and that was the last time it was seen. It's like the bloody X Files. I've looked high and low and gone through the last week's worth of Ring video. Defo came home from scouts. Defo didn't wear it out again - but absolutely not a sign of it anywhere. Is it some sort of dimension hopping alien?! What is going on?

Did you drive home? He took it off in the car and it’s still there?

Stichintime · 26/11/2023 19:37

He hates it, so has it hidden somewhere.

Suasthuasanuas · 26/11/2023 19:38

Nope - video evidence it came into the house.

It's hidden in the house or garden.

😂 not inconceivable for a 14 year old. But don't think that's it. L

Caught under someone else's coat? In the washing basket? Under his bed?

dudsville · 26/11/2023 19:39

I also wonder if it hates it so has "mislaid" it, perhaps in the bin. Did he offer to take the bins out recently?🤣

I think it may have run away to join the circus.

So many times this has happened.
I bet it’s caught up in a coat, hiding in plain sight

Have checked all of the above twice.

Suasthuasanuas · 26/11/2023 19:40

I've even looked in the bath and under my own bed.

Is it in the laundry basket?

cardicoat · 26/11/2023 19:40

Has he sold it on eBay?

Ha. He is mad to make a bit of money alright 🧥🤑

Airing cupboard?

Cookingdoesntgettougher · 26/11/2023 19:43

Did it go out again stuffed in a bag in case it was wet?
He hung it in wardrobe?!

Suasthuasanuas · 26/11/2023 19:44

I even remember smelling it when he in from scouts and thinking "oh it doesn't actually smell of smoke this time so I won't have to hang it out". So it hasn't blown off the line.

inside sleeping bag roll.

Suasthuasanuas · 26/11/2023 19:45

Not in either of those. Even checked inside my own coats in the wardrobe in case it had gone to be with its own kind.

Friend come round who has same coat, took it in error?

More likely, he did wear it out somewhere since scouts

Suasthuasanuas · 26/11/2023 19:46

It was a day hike with cooking over fire so no extras like tent or sleeping bag.

Hanging on post at bottom of the stairs

simonthedog · 26/11/2023 19:46

I couldn't find DD's black coat. Eventually found it hanging on the hooks on the back of her bedroom door. But it was inside out and unbeknownst to me the lining is all silver, and I just wasn't looking for silver.

Try Saint Anthony.
Works for me. 😇
Dear St. Anthony please come round,
Something's lost and can't be found.
Mind you, I still think that he's 'lost it' on purpose.😁

Defo not. As I said I've gone through all the Ring doorbell video. CSI Coat.
