missing is a phenomenon which relies on humans to give proper places to items or people. a person may decide that they are missing if they are disoriented on a mountain. a set of keys may not.

Not being in a persons possession doesn't make anything missing-the whole idea turns on there being places an object *should* be...and that requires human decisions. say if you left the keys on your counter...what's it to the keys? why would they prefer to be in your pocket? i think mantus has a point...but i've been waiting to try out my "everything does not have a place" rant. hehe...

oh...and this is a total semantic fight.
