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?

Check under pillows and under the duvet on his bed. I found a missing school shirt and a 6 pack of jam tarts under DS's pillow once.

In a bag? Fallen into laundry pile? Borrowed by sibling?

If its made of that slidey waterproof material then could've it slipped down the back,of a sofa or his bed and be on the floor/by the skirting board underneath either of those?

MadeOfAllWork · 26/11/2023 20:10

Down the side of his bed, between the bed and the wall.

It's probably with wherever all the biros in my house have disappeared to.

CatonmyKeyboard · 26/11/2023 20:23

Is he wearing it? That's where DH's glasses usually are when he can't find them.

And the 5 school cardigans, fleece and games top DD has lost.

Octavia64 · 26/11/2023 20:28

Under bed, thrown down by front door, hanging in bathroom as he wanted a bath after a hike?

TitusMoan · 26/11/2023 20:32

Back of a door?

You’ve probably looked at it without seeing it

Round 3 completed and no sign!

I'm trying to recreate the evening in my mind.

He had to go out again later that evening for an event and I have this memory of wanting him to wear the coat over a soft shell uniform as it was going to be cold. But no go as he wanted to be sure the uniform was visible - first aid volunteer at event.

So I think I put it in a bag to give him the option to take it with him which he refused. Checked the doorbell vid and we didn't take a bag out of the house. I've looked through every bag I can find but no joy.

So now I'm wondering, did I actually put it in a bag or just talk about it. Aaaargh.

If only!! In fairness I do have great form for missing the thing which is directly in front of me.

@Kpo58 Do you have cats? If so, the biros are under the furniture.

bossybloss · 26/11/2023 20:44

Was it a carrier bag?Try the bin… someone might have put it in by mistake on the way out.

JenniferL27 · 26/11/2023 20:44

In the carrier bag and subsequently put in the outdoor bin?

Has it got caught up in a pile of clean laundry and accidentally put in someone else's wardrobe/chest of drawers? I did this once with DDs favourite cuddly toy - I turned my house upside down looking for it and eventually it just turned up totally randomly when I opened a drawer!
