    Okay, so I realise none of you know where my passport is, however for those of you who have had the misfortune of losing yours (or a similar item) I will be forever grateful if you could let me know where/how it turned up. It might just be that mine is hiding in a similar location which I haven't yet thought of. :o

    Muchos thanks.

    My mum lost hers a week before a holiday. Luckily she managed to get a replacement in time.

    Months and months later she was looking for a gift bag to put a present in and looked in the cupboard where she kept that sort of thing. She found her passport inside a small cardboard bag which had been folded flat. Because the passport was thin when the bag was folded the card from the two sides plus the knots from the handles of the bag made it seem like the bag was empty.

    I hope you manage to track it down,

    Underwear drawer or fridge. That's where everything ends up... does the winner (finder) get a prize?

    Have you checked all of your handbags? Have you used it for a job interview recently, DBS check, banking? Do you have a pile/ folder of paperwork with your bank documents that it could have got mixed up in? Bookcase? Every coat and jacket pocket? Every suitcase/ travel bag x

    Would you have out it on the fireplace/mantle? Is there a gap? Could it have fallen down the back?

    I found mine with some paperwork I'd taken to a solicitors for ID.

    Somebody I worked with joined our company, having previously left a sister company to go travelling about 18 months before. When she'd left, she left a handbag behind and they hung onto it. When she joined our company, the other people sent her bag over. Inside it was her driving licence! She shoved this in her new bag along with the replacement one she'd got because she couldn't find the other one. A policeman had a very stern word with her a few months later when he stopped her and found she had two driving licences in her bag!

    After pulling the house apart in a panic, I went back to where it should be , pulled all the giant heavy drawers out, and lo and behold it sat winking at me on the floor at the back of the dresser. With everything else I'd lost .

    Good luck.

    I missed a trip to Prague last year, forgot to check I had my passport. Turned the house upside down looking for it, nowhere to be found and I couldn't go.

    The passport turned up in Canada.



    I realise I could leave the story there, but probably fairer to add an ex had 'accidentally' taken it. Hmm. I wasn't a happy bunny!
