The box requested was not found
The user insisted that it must be around
The information inside was worth lots of dough
We had to find it timely or it would be a no show
We hunted and searched for days in vain
Systems, locations, receipts it wasn't contained
We had to say sorry and go on our way
Several months later I am sad to say
The box was found under his desk when he left

Subject: Unusual Missing file stories

I am curious to know if any records managers on this listserv have
particularly interesting/unusual tales of where you have turned up
missing files. We all have ones about the 'one that got away' (i.e. was
never found), and I know that I and my peers are always joking about how
that 'missing' file is probably in attorney so-and-so's
trunk/briefcase/bottom of a moving box. But I would like to know if
anyone has ever turned up a 'missing' file someplace completely
unexplainable (once I found a missing file being used as a mousepad in a
conference room, and I just located a file that had been checked in to
our records system 2 years ago in a pile of files on the desk of a
records staffer we fired last week, but I guess in retrospect those
could make sense to someone).
