Final edit: A blessed soul from 7-11 found it and it is back in my hands (I did a much longer post but wanted to reach all the people who've been agonizing with me) Thank you all for the positive thinking and creative suggestions (and normalizing my dumb ass somehow losing something I hold for 12 hours a day)
24 hours of searching. I've ripped the house apart, offered my teen a cash bounty, and now I'm begging for inspiration online.
Full disclosure: I'm an idiot and I read while I walk around the house. I've been known to leave things in the fridge or balanced on top of the cans in the cupboard. It could be anywhere, and that place is probably the stupidest place a thing could possibly be.
FWIW, the garbage and recycling haven't gone out, the couch and bedframe have been checked. I just rifled the deep freeze and checked the washing machine and dishwasher, and lifted all the rugs. My kid isn't messing with me, he desperately wants the cash reward.
Anybody have an idea before I collapse in disgust and read my kid's copy of Divergent?
Edit: thank you, everyone! I've been running around looking wherever each commenter has suggested. No luck thus far. Time to get stoned and take a break and then back to the hunt
SECOND EDIT: Okay, I've removed the seats and spare tire in the car, taken apart the beds and couches, lifted the rugs, checked inside every appliance (I emptied botj deep freezes), gone through all the laundry, checked on top of everything. I've crawled the house with a high-powered flashlight and walked around on top of all the furniture to check the tops of things. I defer to the wisdom of the guy who advised me to give it time to respawn (and am making suspicious eyes at the guy who said he stole it lol) although I am suspiciously eyeing the dogs (idk if a mini labradoodle can eat a kobo but I'm not ruling anything out at this point) Thank you all for your help and moral support. I'm going to go cry and start the process of booting up a new one
