I have the same problem as many of you, but it's not ME that finds the "safe place" for stuff. It's my wife. She will put things of mine away and then forget where she put them. But she assures me that they're put away safely!

This is why I have a special drawer reserved for kilt stuff. Hose, flashes/garters, belts, kilt pin, sgian dubh, and all other accessories go in that drawer as soon as I take them off, lest my wife put them away somewhere.
