The case of the missing Ratchet

Ratchet is Kira's favorite teddy bear. She takes him for walks outside in her play stroller. She carries him around the house, feeds him lunch, gives him sips of "jus" from her cup, and loves on him at naptime. SO, where did he go?!? He has been missing for about a week. Trust me, I have searched high and low. In the house, the cars, in the basement, and outside. No Ratchet. Where could he have gone? We are also missing one white sandal and one pink pineapple shoe (which actually turned up under the clothes dryer in the basement). Hopefully, we will end this case happily, soon...
