Sounds like Schroedinger's shipment. If we don't know where it is, can it really be lost?

  Isn't that the definition of something being lost, i.e., not knowing where it is?

    Can you lose something if you never knew where it was to begin with?

    No. Not really. Where it is may be where it's supposed to be. Not knowing that doesn't make it lost. Ex: If I send a ship to sea before we had radio/telegraph, I may not know where it is at any given point, but it's not lost and I don't need to go find it. It's lost when it misses a check-in, and what constitutes a check-in is really company/org dependent.
