Ask "the Spirits"
"Spirits, can I please have my tax disc and MOT certificate back?"
It works quite often for me. (No I don't believe there actually are spirits nicking documents etc, I think it probably works by being a mental exercise which for some reason helps you spot or remember previously overlooked things).
You have my deepest sympathy btw as I have had to pay for a replacement insurance certificate and recently (when flogging the swedish brick) had a nasty moment when the purchaser pointed out that the MOT was not the one for the next 12 months but the one for the next 2. Found the MOT cert thank heavens (and the 2nd key which had also gone... somewhere). Late night headless chickening sux0rs.
Re: Ask "the Spirits"
I think the most likely thing is that I took the ins cert out of the envelope they were all in, then when I was throwing away all the stuff to do with the car I sold a year ago... Although most of that is in the waiting-to-be-shredded pile. I'll have one more go through the waiting-to-be-filed pile, and first thing Monday I'll check I didn't leave it in my old office somehow. And then I'll give up and pay the 7 quid at the local DVLA office for a duplicate.
Re: Ask "the Spirits"
a) that we'd got a shredder for Xmas - that I'd just been using on "out of date" car paperwork
and
b) the few panicky minutes I spent going through the shredded bits checking that none of the strands were greenish....
