Audio stuff I've lost in my own home...

Little items like you mention yes, but the remote is a little different.

There was the SONY discman that I put in a bag with some groceries and proceeded to throw down the garbage chute, once I unpacked the groceries.

man you must keep a tidy organized home. i am impressed. i,ve lost more than that within arms reach of my recliner. i,m currently looking for a dozen rechargeable aa batteries stolen from my remotes by my 12 year old for his xbox controller. gone!!!

I have lost several cartridges among many other things. One right off a shelf; no , no one else took it unless it was the little people. I can't find some parts I ordered for a tone arm right now; the anti skate outrigger for my Grace 707 has been missing for a couple of years. I have a box of parts for my SME arms that is here somewhere [maybe]. I haven't seen my good multimeter in a few years either. All told, you aren't doing badly.

If security camera will not help, than you should contact ghost hunters to install their equipment in your home.
