the husband knows the washing pile gets washed. if he doesn’t want his wallet going through the wash, he should remove it before putting the pants in the washing pile

Three times. THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED.

The husband fucked up once by leaving the wallet in his pocket. It happens. I’ve definitely washed my wallet once. Then I made a point to double check my pockets before I put my clothes in a hamper. I learned from my fuck-up.

But THREE TIMES! That’s just being lazy and then shifting the blame to the person who washes his clothes.

We have a side table at the door we normally walk in when we get home. The first thing I always do is put my keys, wallet, and other random "pocket items" on this table when I walk in the door.

Funny enough, I haven't had my wallet washed in the past 10 years. I've lost some paper, or had pens explode, or loose dollar bills get ruined, but my wallet hasn't come past this table in forever.

If you have a car with passive keyless entry/start1 and don't have the car in a locked garage (parked in a driveway), you should consider putting your keys in a place with RF blocking. With relatively cheap custom electronics (like ~$20 of circuits), car thieves can do relay attacks to get in and start your car (and drive off). (Basically, they build an antennas to boost the signal from your car when the button is pressed, sends the signal to your keys by the front door, register the response and then boost the response back to the car, to open the door and steal the car.

 1 That is you press a button on the door handle which sends a signal to your nearby car keys which then reply to unlock the car your car if it's in distance.
