Gentle Readers,
My friend has lost his wallet. Now I'm sure we've all done this, but my friend is "special" and has lost it within his own tiny apartment. He knows he had it last night there when he bought the pizza, but he has not seen it since, and he swears he's looked everywhere.
I'm convinced, that being a maroon, he in fact has NOT searched everywhere. Please help him by posting other places in his apartment to look.
Thanks!
Added: I'm hoping to get a big list here, so he can use this as a checklist when he gets home.

I'm a chronic thing-looser.
Suggetions that have worked for me in the past:
Medicine cabinnet Under the edge of the bed In the fridge On top of the television Behind the bed/beside the bed (if the bed is against a wall) In the blankets Couch cushions/Chair cushions
*edit, more*
The garbage can under the pizza box/in the pizza box Between his keyboard and monitor

*edit, one more*: Current pants pocket, but not the pocket you normally put it in. This has happened to me a *shocking* amount, and I'll search for a long time for said wallet and never find it.

In the pants he was wearing last night. Under the pizza box. Under his computer chair. On top of the fridge. Next to the toilet. On, below, and in the couch. This is my morning key hunting ritual.

Freezer, next to ice cube trays. When I buy pizza, I get the ice cubes out for the pop I order w/ the pizza. I usually still have my wallet in hand since I haven't put my debit card back into it.

The only other place that I can think of other than what has already been mentioned is the trash can.

Fridge next to the beer is first place I look for the tv remote.
Wallet, though...that has to be in the bottom of a laundry hamper, on floor next to the door (possibly a few feet away having accidentally been kicked since), on top of DVD player, or lastly, in pizza guy's apartment.

Is it brown, with a drivers license, credit cards, money, and someone's phone number inside? Nope... haven't seen it.

Is there a table near the door of the apartment? When somone hands you a large item, usually you will put what is in your hands down. My guess that it is very near the door. Otherwise? It was Col. Mustard with a candlestick in the library.

From: Lecktor Hannibal In the medicine cabinet next to the aspirin behind the unused razor. No abstruse Sir Gielgud references! Refridgerator was the first that came to mind. Kicked under the bed. Beside the toilet where it fell from a pocket whilst conducting business. And, should he have a three-year-old in the house, all bets are off. Finding the wallet in the microwave makes some limited sense, but you will never, ever, never put your keys inside the port of a subwoofer... but a three-year-old will and have no recollection at all of having even been playing with them. Wanna guess how long it took me to find them?
