    Professor Solomon,
    Finder of Lost Objects

    Hi, I’m Professor Solomon, author of How to Find Lost Objects (featured on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and published by Penguin Books), and creator of an AMAZING METHOD for finding lost objects.

    Have you lost something? Have you misplaced your keys, wallet, or other vital possession? Is it hiding from you, somewhere in your home or office? Well, I can help you find it.

    How? By running you through my method. Interested? Okay, let’s go—let’s find your lost object!

    <hr>

    1. One of the most common recovery areas for lost objects is the automobile. Your object may simply be lying on the car seat where you left it. Or it may have become wedged between cushions, or have fallen on the floor. If you were traveling in an automobile, check these places.

    2. Instead of being where it’s supposed to be, your object may be where something else is supposed to be. What happened was a mental lapse, in which one routine motion got substituted for another. For example, your scissors are normally kept in a jar on the kitchen counter; but mindlessly you returned them to the tool drawer.

    3. What were you wearing when you last remember having the object? Think back, then go search the pockets of those clothes. And be meticulous—search every pocket. The one you skip could be the one you’re after.

    4. Are you one of those people who like to sprawl on the sofa? And your wallet—which you carry in a pants pocket—is missing? Maybe it fell out on the sofa. Go look.
    It should be noted that dropping things is not the same as misplacing them: no lapse of memory is involved. So if a set of keys has fallen from your pocket, or an earring from your ear, most of the Principles will not be relevant. One that will be, however, is “Tail Thyself.” Simply follow your trail about the house, closely examining the floor, stairs, seat cushions, etc.

    5. To reduce the likelihood of a misplacement, and to facilitate any searches that become necessary, keep your home neat and orderly. Remember the maxim: A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.

    <hr>

    The Twelve Principles
    My method is based on what I call the Twelve Principles—a set of precepts designed to lead you directly to any lost object. Like a bloodhound!

    The Twelve Principles are:

    1. Don’t Look for It
    2. It’s Not Lost—You Are
    3. Remember the Three C’s
    4. It’s Where It’s Supposed to Be
    5. Domestic Drift
    6. You’re Looking Right at It
    7. The Camouflage Effect
    8. Think Back
    9. Look Once, Look Well
    10. The Eureka Zone
    11. Tail Thyself
    12. It Wasn’t You

    These Principles are the core of my method. So—let’s get right into them.

    Let’s find that missing object of yours!

    I was cleaning my jewellery earlier and I kept dropping earrings on the floor, they are so hard to find! They bounce off really far and they're hard to see on my carpet and it took me ages to find each one

    I lost my virginity the other day. Guy also took my wallet and my shoes. I got a free funny-smelling rag out of it though so it's all good.
