She's half-inched my debit card

[kenobi]

My darn baby has rifled through my wallet and stolen my debit card and £25. And my nectar card. May be she's going on a shopping spree in Sainers? It's been 3 days now. I've checked in all the obvious places, plus her toy box and in the DVD player.

Where would a 13-month old hide something? I only live in a small London flat. Seriously, I need suggestions! I am rubbish at looking for things.

Also I had this really uncomfortable lump in my boot this morning and it turned out to be a piece of cheese, FGS.

Is it just me or are babies WEIRD?

She probably binned it lol.

The strangest thing I ever found was my house keys...in my then 2yr old's nappy

Do yuo have gaps between your floor boards?

oven, washing machine,

Don't ask me. My oyster card went the same way and I never saw it again. It didn't even turn up when we moved house. He has lost me about £30 of pre-pay over 3 cards. I am thinking of docking his future pocket money.

Kungfu Have you tried holding him to the Oyster machine and listening for a bleep?

One New Year when small my ds posted my cheque book cards etc down the back of the fire place, didn't find them for months ,when they were finally discovered and he was asked why he said he thought Santa would be short of money after Christmas !

My two seemed obsessed with posting things down the back of radiators. Checked under sofa cushions? in shoes?

Ha ha mutznutz - hope they hadn't been through his/her entire digestive system!

Memoo like your thinking. No gaps in floorboard but large gap under one skirting board. Will investigate tonight.

Kungfu - Love it. Sounds like your DS has a future career as tax specialist (you know, good at hiding things). Mutznuts, lol

washing machine? seriously? cripes, didn't think of there...

onadiffplanet - that's seriously cute.

Inside a ride on toy.

Out the cat flap.

under the curtains
down the bog
in the gap under the fridge
under the mat

could be anywhere.

good luck

DD emptied the contents of my wallet and about a week later when all the cards were cancelled I found them inside her toy kettle.

Mine stole moved my passport just before an important trip, which I had to cancel. She then found it AFTERWARDS with the most fake surprise I have ever seen. I was actually speechless (having looked for it for about three days).

Keys, cards, passport, all have gone into the netherworld of children's boxes, cupoards, even between the pages of books. Happy hunting!

Posted into DVD/CD slots on PC/laptop/DVD player/stereo?

Stashed away in any bags or lunchbox type things?

Inside a book? Under her mattress?

My DS took my glasses and hid them and they've never turned up, even though we've moved house :(

Toy oven. This where dd2 stashes things. I found £50 in there once, she had half inched from my coat pockets

Good thing no-one has videos any more, the amount of things the DCs used to hide in there - because when I posted things in the machine "Sumayobros" (Super Mario Brothers) would appear on the TV.

Dd2 finds that playstations are good for that Takeresponsibility , which reminds me I must order a new disc reader for ours at some point soon. The last one met a stick end with a piece of buttered tortilla bread and two Dr Who dvds

Bags
Ride on
Radiator
Inside the card reader of the ELC cash register
Under the sofa
In the back of the sofa
DVD player
Floorboards
Cupboard under the stairs
Under any furniture
In the shoe rack
Inbetween books/CDs on shelves
Toy cooker

Brilliant suggestions, thank you. This is why you all find stuff and I do not (or KungfuPanda either, clearly )

There's a radiator behind the back of the sofa, that's suspect no. 1 at the moment, followed by all floor-level gaps. Gosh my evening is going to be riveting (and dusty).

Onetoomany - naughty DD! She got what she wanted, didn't she?

I wish I could ask her but she's currently concentrating on repeating BEBA BEBA BEBA at the top of her voice, which is beyond my powers of comprehension!

DMC - Oh no! DS has a playstation I must check it immediately.

Actually he's 25, he probably still posts jammy toast in the wretched thing but thats his gf problem now :)

Kenobi - BEBA BEBA BEBA is a clue - check in all toy ambulances, fire engines and police cars immediately

Check inside toys. I once spent the day tearing my flat apart looking for my phone. The cheeky thing had wedged it inside Postmas Pat's van. I was less than impressed

DH's DVd drive on his laptop is full of guitar plectrums.

Ok.. inside toys < busily takes notes >

Takeresponsibilty - rofl!

She's not saying BEBA - she's saying [[http://www.poshvintage.com/search_res.cfm?search_term=biba&logic=and BIBA].

Quite the fashion connoisseur - I hate to think how much she's spent on there (but I hope she's got your size right!).
