I don't know, but annoyingly my wallet/keys/phone tends to always be in the last place I look.

Wait, that was yours? Oops...say if you see a transaction record from Gritty Down Under just forget it
Did you happen to leave it under the hood of a car you worked on earlier?
Did you leave it in your car?
check the fridge
Elsweyr, have you checked? Might be there, might not.
If it's not here, logic dictates that it must be Elswyer.
Did you leave it in your other pants/purse/jacket?
First things first. You need some food to sustain you while you search for the wallet. Do you have a leather belt or some shoes or anything like that you can boil and eat? It's only a temporary fix, but trust me, you'll have a much clearer head after you get some tanned animal hide into your system. Next priority: finding that wallet. What you need to do is go to the last place you had it and then retrieve it from there. Most people never realize that one very simple and effective trick, instead spending far too much time searching places where they had their wallet slightly-to-somewhat before it was lost.
Finally, always remember to troubleshoot and isolate the root of the issue. If you need your credit card, and you reach for your wallet only to find your wallet is missing, you have two separate problems. Your wallet can be found by following the steps I shared earlier, but you credit card might be in an entirely different place and it's the credit card that you needed right now. Keep your eyes on the prize.
it fell out of your pocket when you sat down
Is it in a car?
Is it in a bar?
Is it in a bag?
I'm sorry you've hit a snag.
This happens to me two or three times a week. Check your other hand.
The troll under the bridge took it.
U Mad Bro?
If you're not at home, did you leave it at home this morning? If you're at home, have you checked the laundry pile?
