    A box that is used for putting things in and taking things out. A shapes box?

    Toy kitchen is the go-to hiding place for car keys, wallet, phone etc in our house.

    Haha! If you don’t have any joy, I’ve got a new 240s spec one (stainless bearings) that I’d swap for a Shimano one as long as it’s not ****.

    Sillyoldman that could well be worth doing. Mine is also that spec and the Shimano one is all good.

    In 1987 i hid my mum’s contact lenses in a a vintage manual meat grinder and promptly forgot where I’d put them.
    Couldn’t find them for months.
    She, as a single mum wasn’t happy and had to pay for more. Check the manual meat grinder on the shelf.

    It will either be in the wash bin or the kitchen bin.

    Absolute mystery. We’ve turned the house upside down.

    Chilled76 – if you don’t find it in the next few days, let me know (email in profile) and I can send you my freehub and endcap in return for yours.

    Hosted Christmas at our house for the first time in 2016, both families over, my wife’s sisters have 5 kids between them so the house was busy. My wife is getting dressed, can’t find her watch- she’d seen the then 3-year old looking at it before. Could we find it?! Looked everywhere. She swore she’d not touched it… Took the whole Christmas to get her to admit where she’d hidden it!!

    Based on that experience; look down the side of the chair cushion in the bedroom.

    It’ll be downstairs, she can’t go upstairs without us due to a stairgate. I’ve come to the conclusion I’ve got to empty the wheelybin bag I put out earlier today. Rubber gloves time in the light!

    Two thoughts.

    1. Are you sure it’s the toddler who’s hidden it rather than you “put it somewhere you’ll definitely remember” and then forgot it?
    2. Leave something else unusual on the coffee table, hide and see where your little person hides that !

    My son has a large bin wagon with “working” scoop and stuff. He once lost his soft toy after two hours of tears his and ours and essentially searching every room of a fairly zen house in increasing frustration I had a brain wave and found the toy in the toy ! It was almost an exact fit.
    So any toys you can put things in ?

    Have you actually tried any kind of ‘persuasive questioning’?
    Or even bribery? ‘If you tell me where youv’e put it, I won’t sell you’, That kind of thing?

    Actually, if the t was our house, it would have been “tidied” away by the wife. By tidied, she means shoved somewhere out of sight that she’s since forgotten about because it wasn’t significant to her, despite the fact it might very well have been for her bike.

    Dropped down the inner of a partially unfurled umbrella?

    This!
    The amount of times I’ve had to get a rod with a load of tape on the end to poke inside and remove certain items.

    Fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, etc?

    You sure you’ve not built it onto your hub?

    I’m going to ask her today, commuting in a minute and won’t see her till I get home. Trouble is she doesn’t really talk, she’s got a few words but most of her development compared to peers has been advanced physical not verbal.

    I have literally turned the downstairs of our house inside out and it is no where.

    It’s funny that a number of people are saying about subwoofer, first place I looked was in the port of my floorstanders!

    Thanks for all the suggestions. So far, no cigar!

    Posted through the letterbox to the outside world? My phone and tv remotes regularly do this.

    Next up is Washing machine, tumble dryer, Bin or Toilet.

    Downside of sofa is also a favourite, apparently its a car park.

    Take shoes and socks off, walk around.

    buy another one.

    leave it in the same place.

    follow toddler round for a bit.

    you now have two freehubs.
