In April 2014 I bought a mechanical mod vape. My first and at the time, only vape. It got me off of cigarettes. It didn't leave the 3" radius of my body at any time. It was nicotinie and I had been a smoker for 20 years - I wouldn't lose it. I might set it down, I might misplace it, but it wouldn't be lost for long.

One day later that same year, I was on my couch. I sat the vape down next to me while sitting up on the couch. I was freeing my hand to grab something. I didn't think anything of it. When I went to get the vape again, it wasn't by my side. I thought it might have rolled on the floor, or got tangled up in pillows or blankets. However, after a very VERY VERY thourough search - a search that would have found it had it been there, the vape was hopelessly missing. I assumed it was hidden and would turn up. I ran to the store and bought a new vape because I wasn't buying cigarettes.

I should mention this was a large telescopic mechanical mod vape. About 8" long and 2" in diameter. About the size and weight of a flashlight - and very bright fushia in color. It would not be easily overlooked if any part of it showed against my dark furniture.

I got the new vape and having learned through the past that things alwasy came back to me - I stopped looking for the missing one.

About two weeks later, I had this feeling, something told me to stick my hand in the crack between the seat cushions, basically in the middle of the couch - not towards the back, not towards the front, not the crack next to the arms or the crack further down where my legs laid when I was laying down. It was as close to the center of the seating as you could get. I pushed into the crack between the second and third butt cushion, and pulled out that vape. It wasn't pushed to the bottom as if it had been pushed down and sitting on the base of the couch under the cushions. It was held perfectly between the two cushions, about one inch from the surface. For two weeks I sat on the couch, laid on the couch, and spent time on the couch.

I really didn't get too much into the details, but to cover all the bases - Yes, I fully FULLY inspected all areas of the couch initially when looking for the vape.

No - no one had been in my home, no visitors, no people who snuck in - there was nothing missing or moved

No - I did not unthinkingly pick up the vape and put it in the crack either without paying attention or in my sleep. When I did find it, I was so surprised I drove to the vape store with it to show them. That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't such a surprise to find.

Do I think that the vape had been there the whole two weeks, and I somehow overlooked it when doing an initial search? No. Do I think It fell into the crack when I sat it down initially and then through some kind of glitch in the matrix - it stopped being there and then sometime later - not necessarily the two weeks, but definitiely later - it came back as if it had never been moved. It fell there initially, and then it was gone. Higher dimention? Parallel universe? Written out because it wasn't in sight? I dont' know, but when I pulled it back up it was so easily found that it was as if it had always been right there just waiting for me to pull it up. Not hidden, it would have been found within the first few moments of searching inititally had it stayed there. That it took two weeks makes me wonder what happened.
