Where is my camera charger? Places I have already checked after the break: →[More:]
The camera charger is a standard, plug into the wall, slide the battery in, boom your done Canon thingie. Places I have already checked include all of the outlets.
Other places include:
- Dresser drawers
- Nightstand drawers
- Old purse that I used on a recent trip
- Desk drawers
- Bookshelves
- Random bowls and pots we have standing around the house
- Microwave stand shelves and drawer

So what am I forgetting, Metachzens? I theoretically have two of these buggers, having lost the first one the SAME DAMN WAY. Help me pleaseandthankyou!

PS - I know I brought it home from our last trip, because I have charged the battery since then.

Please help me Obi-wan-Metachat, you're my only hope! I know you have helped before!

Kitchen cabinet.
Glove compartment in car.
Behind stereo amidst the wires.

In the couch cushions with the spare change and the emergency Cheetos.

Also, my daughter once left her phone charger in the refrigerator (she had it in her hand when she reached in to get a can of soda).

Oh, also, jacket/coat pockets.

Where is your cell phone charger? We try to keep all the chargers in the same drawer.

This is a little spooky, because a couple of weeks ago, I had a heck of a time finding the battery charger for my camera. Also the standard Canon thingie, of which I also have two.

I found one in a basket of assorted papers and cables and other stuff that was upstairs in my "office" room, where I put it after hurriedly cleaning up the living room.

It will be a lot more spooky if yours is discovered in a similar basket.

If it was my house, I'd check under the couch and in the medicine cabinet.

I am taking these all into consideration. Thank you. I will be reporting back.

JoanArkham, already checked where the cell phone charger is left permanently plugged in, I have plugged the camera charger in there before as well. Not there, but thanks for suggesting it. I swear, this charger and I are not meant to be together.

You will magically find it as soon as you buy a cheap replacement on Amazon. I know, I am now the proud owner of four Canon camera battery chargers.

WE LOST OUR CANON CAMERA BATTERY AND CHARGER!

But I found it tonight in the diaper bag. Check there.

My non-Canon charger likes to hide:

- Under couches, chairs, beds, and desks, including seats in the car
- In coat pockets
- On window sills
- Where ever cat toys turn up in the house.

Random bowls and pots we have standing around the house

I have no helpful advice, but this piques my curiosity...

We lost a camera charger for over a year once. I can't remember where it turned up finally.

Thanks for all of the advice folks. Still haven't found the damn thing. I will remain diligent and slightly crazed in the search.

Argh! Maybe on top of the TV!?!?

posted by JoanArkham 28 October | 20:34

I FOUND IT! It was on the old entertainment center that my husband currently uses as his 'standing up desk'. I have been looking high and low for a week - and there it was, on his 'desk' of sorts, right in front of him, smack dab in the middle - and he never noticed it. I am just grateful that we found it before our trip. I didn't want to buy yet ANOTHER camera charger. Thanks everyone for all your help.
