Any psychics out there that can help me out!!! I thought I knew where my passport was but when I went to get it, it wasn't there! I'll be devastated if we can't go! We are going on Wednesday! Thank you in advance! X

check the scanner if you have one. Pockets, floors of wardrobes, in between book pages, in the car, on top of shelves, down the side of sofa cushions

good luck!!!

Check all bags and cases used on your last trip. What clothes did you travel in? Check pockets.

Netaporter · 04/04/2023 03:26

Did you need it for ID since you last travelled? Pockets of the coat you last had it? The hand luggage bag? Bedside drawer?

I once thought I’d lost a watch at home. Prayed to St Anthony (Patron saint of lost things) and St Jude (Patron Saint of lost causes) and I kid you not, the watch was in the same Jewellery Roll I’d checked previously….as my y5 teacher (sister Mary) used to say… let’s call on the saints to help us. obviously, the rational explanation is that when you are flustered, things can be missed.

If you can’t find it today, make an emergency appointment at petit France for a same day service. Good luck!

Thank you for the replies! I used it for the solicitors, it was in a document wallet with other papers. I definitely left the solicitors with it and had it in my car!

I recently found mine after it being lost for 2 years! It was in a very random place which I had no recollection of putting it there. Look inside anything that could hold a passport, basically. Also, down the side of anything in the car, under the mats etc.

@alittlepieceofme yay! 👏👏

Same request for the car v5c, not so DP has misplaced it.....not my car, but the resident's permit is due, and I will need to pay it as he is out of work. I am faintly homicidal right now as it's just another thing he has lost. See previous tax info. Grrrr. St Anthony is not helping.

Found mine in the car, down the side of the front seat. It was the morning we were going abroad 🤦🏽‍♀️

Last trips hand luggage.

You would have needed your passport number when you booked your flight. Where were you when you did it ?

CharlotteFlax · 04/04/2023 12:21

Go back to where you thought it was and search outwards in a radius.

Usually things are within 3 feet of where you think it should be. This is from an article I found ages ago when I googled "how to find lost things" - and it's worked for me quite a few times.

Between the drivers seat and the central console.

Thank you for all of the suggestions! We've literally looked everywhere, it's not here! So very strange!

I don't know what is happening at the moment. DH has had loads seemingly disappear, I lost my nail scissors, searched everywhere but couldn't find them and decided I'd buy some when I went shopping. Two days later I was getting out of bed and there they were on the floor right by the bed just in front of the chest of drawers. Week later I lost my levothyroxine tablets, they come in a strip bit like the pill, I'd only used half. Searched everywhere, got my back up packet out and went on with life, 3 days later I walked upstairs to put some towels in the airing cupboard and there they were on the carpet between GSs bedroom door and airing cupboard door. I can't figure it out, I can decide if its a shift in the universe or spirit based.

I hope your passport mysteriously reappears like my things.

Any luck,?

Lost my nail file, couldn’t find ir for days. looked everywhere i could have possible put it. Walked into the living room and it was right in front of me on the living room floor. I’d hoovered earlier and it definitely wasn’t there then!
