It's been 5 days now. Five days we've been living without the remote control to our DVR. I remember the last time I saw it, and unless I absent-mindedly put it in some bizarre place, Little Man has hid it somewhere. He's found a good place, too, because we've looked in all his usual "I'll just put this here" spots, as well as every other place we can think of. (I'm afraid he may have decided to hide it in a trash bag that I then took out to the garbage.)
Do you have any ideas of where else I can look for this thing?
Oh I am sooooo sorry. I hate it when that happens. I am so paranoid about that I tend to watch the darn thing like a hawk. Besides the buttons on our TV are locked so we can't even work it without the remote control! (Well I can't, my husband can work some magic but I would have to wait for him to get home to fix it and frankly that just sucks!)
Hope you find it soon.

Kitty knocked ours into the laundry basket. Cuz I don't always fold the laundry the second it hits the basket (as if!), the remote took several days to reappear.
I was going to say to try the trash cans, but since you already took them out... might be having to pick up a generic one from Wally World ;) I hope you find it!! (it really bites when you can't find it!!) (my resever remote went out... $75 to replace it!!)

My daughter likes to throw things in the toilets, but I don't think I am helping...

In a house with five children, we go through the lost remote thing a lot, and there are several appliances that can only be operated by store-bought All-in-One remotes because the originals have vanished into the ether.
Here is my solution to the general problem.

Wouldn't it be great if, like cordless phones, remotes came with a plug-in pager system? Press a button, and the remote beeps.

Even if your munchkin didn't take it, he may know where it is. My mom asked my youngest if he knew where the top to a piano key was and he pointed to the empty key. Mom insisted that he knew where it was. And he did. It had fallen off the key and between that one and the key next to it.
After that I asked him where things were and he often knew. Even when I'd been the one to accidentally stuff the remote in the freezer with the sorbet.
Of course, that quits working around fourth grade because they figure out they have to think to do that.

We found ours last week in the (unlit) fireplace.
