I walked home a week ago from the train station with my MP3 player on. The next time I wanted to use it, I couldn't find it. It's definately somewhere in my house. I have moved the sofa, checked under the kitchen table and checked all the pockets of my bags and jackets. I really can't remember where I put it. Where else do you suggest I search? Do you have any tips for finding small lost items?

Start 1 room at a time, start on 1 side and go from high to low all round the room a back to your starting point, repeat this in each room taking your time and properly look from high to low, going through drawers and cupboards 1 at a time as you come across them and put everything back as you go. This is a methodical search.

Try to mentally walk through everything you did when you got home. Are you sure you still had it on when you got home? Did you stop anywhere? What did you first do when you got home? Do you have a garage? Did you go in there? Bathroom? Check cushions on the couch? Check all drawers and cupboards? Set it on top of something, like the refrigerator? Check around any phones? Check all around or under the bed? Maybe fell between the mattress and foot board? Closets..maybe fell out of the pocket?
Anyone else living there who may have used it?

See, now I have the opposite problem. I have too many.
I got my first one about 5 years ago (iAudio - 256MB) but got mad because 512MB units came out a few months later. Anyway, I kept it for a pretty long time and it worked (s) great, but then I got an iRiver 512MB one about 2 years ago.
It was/is great - but then a few months ago, I got a 30GB iStation PMP and it's the greatest. Only problem is that I still have all 3 of them - all in perfect condition and with original boxes. What to do?!
Just too lazy/busy to get rid of the ones I don't use.

Train a small jack russel to find lost objects (for proof that this works watch The Mask)

I suggest, you clean from top to bottom, or move everything around, then you should come across it... thats how I find things that I have not seen for ages!

Have you tried completely re-tracing your steps from when you got home?
Alternatively, buy another one, attach a REALLY long piece of elastic to it and tie the other end round your door knob.

Look for something else - that always works for me!
Or check the freezer, other stupid places!
