I've looked for my passport two weeks ago. Decided that it wasn't going to show up any time soon and tried my luck passing the border when driving to the last qetlop. - That worked.
Airports don't work that way. But as of yesterday I know I'll be flying on the 17th. Well, we'll see. At any rate I'm desperately looking for my passport again.
Other objects I've been missing over the past few months have showed up: my Windows XP OEM CD, a book I had been looking for, even the card of my now empty deposit account. The only things I know I'm still missing are my battery charger (last seen when I went to visit my folks in their mountain retreat) and of course my passport.
