Tsuga Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Update: You all did not suggest that maybe the love of my life could have tucked it away in a safe place the last time he cleaned out his car. You know, a safe place like a paper bag in the corner of the garage. I had left it in his car at the time because I lost my license on a bike trip, and brought the passport with me as photo ID in case anything happened. Luckily I am sharing a life with the most wonderful guy in the world so he took time this morning to look through all of his junk drawers and found it for me. :001_wub: 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Inside a book that was on the shelf? In an old purse/briefcase that was used last year. If files are hanging files - pull them all out and look underneath. That's all I've got for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 A safe? In a file with any paperwork from the federal job? In whatever bag you took when you went to the interview? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 No way I would put it in a book. I checked the old backpack and the interview backpack (which is the one I use now, but which has many pockets). I will look underneath the files. They aren't hanging but it's worth a shot. Thanks. I checked the file with the paperwork from my job. Not there. Though, I might have to take everything out and go one by one by one, through every last paper. I kind of did that but... hm. Just thinking, where else could I have put it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Did you check in the file where you have your employment stuff for your job? Did you have anyone (worker or whoever) come into your house, prompting you to hide stuff of value? Where would you stuff valuables if some random person was coming? I know people who stuff money, passports, jewelry in the back of their underwear drawer etc. Do you have a "to do" or "to file" pile that you haven't dug through lately? Do you have a place where you keep stuff you take traveling, e.g., travel cosmetic kid, electric adapters? Could you have put your passport with that, so you "wouldn't forget where it was"? Did you check behind your dressers, bookshelves, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatechip Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Behind your dresser, bedtable, bed? In your couch? Fallen under the seat in the car? Coat pockets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I checked the car, which I have to vacuum frequently due to pine needles and messy kids. I think behind the dresser or something is my best bet. Otherwise it better be hidden in papers, or I'm screwed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Did you use a different purse for the interview? Could it still be in there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 In your safe deposit box alongside all the other passports, social security cards, birth certificates, pink slips (titles?) for cars, mortgage papers, wills and savings bonds etc. I have an envelope in the kitchen for stuff that has been taken out, used, and is ready to go back to the bank box. Maybe it is in there? (amazed that more people do not have bank boxes!!! What if there is a fire? Theft? Plus then I know where everything is!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Do you have a fire box with important papers? I'm always sticking things on the bookshelf and in between books. It always makes sense at the time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Bottom of the underwear drawer? Maybe it fell off the shelf and is wedged between the wall and whatever little used item is up against the wall there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Sock drawer? With foreign money? In under-clothing money-belt-type passport bag? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hiding between two sheets of paper in the wrong file? (which, sadly, will likely turn out to be the last file in which you looked) Old purse or travel bag? Or it may be hiding in Outer Mongolia with ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Top dresser drawer, stuffed behind the undies? That where I found mine a few weeks ago. Everyone else's was in the safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is in there? (amazed that more people do not have bank boxes!!! What if there is a fire? Theft? Plus then I know where everything is!) I do the same with the envelope to transport between safety deposit and home, or else I'm sticking it in a random place and forgetting about it. Pippen, still looking for a birthday card I stashed somewhere.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Could it be behind a drawer? Sometimes I've found stuff when I pulled a drawer completely out of a dresser or desk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 In a drawer, flat up against the front where you wouldn't see it unless you dumped the drawer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yucabird Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Did you use it for ID somewhere, then leave it in the purse, luggage or plastic envelope thingie? Is it in your file cabinet or on top of the recipe books in the kitchen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 So, it is definitely not with all the important stuff where it ought to be. I went there expecting to find it. It is not behind anything we can think of. I did not use a purse or a folder for the interview. I will however check at the front desk on the off chance I gave it to them and they didn't return it!

Farrar Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Lol! I'm glad you found it. My dh also might have put something important in a "safe" place and not remembered to mention it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Lol! I'm glad you found it. My dh also might have put something important in a "safe" place and not remembered to mention it. They're lucky they're cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ah. My DH has "safe" places like that. They are safe because they look like piles of garbage, so no thief would want them. :) I'm glad you found it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have kids -- will travel Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Safe places are the worst! DH also loving "stores" important things and then can't find them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 In my house it's my 19yo dd swooping through the whole house cleaning like a madwoman. I do appreciate the help!!! I just don't like it when in her enthusiasm, something important is misplaced. Happy you found your passport, Tsuga!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
