Safe places are only safe if they're labelled with a big notice saying "item you are looking for is here!" At the moment I'm trying to find a badge I have to sew on a uniform. Now two of the badges I didn't put in a safe place but left them on the mantelpiece and so, of course, I knew where those two were. The third unfortunately got separated from his friends and every time I saw it I moved it from safe place to safe place not thinking to add it to the others. With the consequences being that now I have absolutely no idea where it is! Most annoying thing is that I'm convinced I've seen it in the last couple of days and moved it to yet another safe place where I was sure it would be remembered.
So the upshot of the whole thing is that overall safe places do not work. Or should I say they do work, but they are so safe that unless your very lucky you're highly unlikely ever to see that object again!
P.S. And I bet you anything that as soon as I go and purchase another badge the old one will reappear...then I'll wonder why I didn't look in that safe place first!
Note shuttlecock inside this lovely blue glass goblet. Now if I was looking for a shuttlecock I would never have been able to find it! Although it's highly possible now that I will remember where it is so I don't dare more it to another safe place ;o)
