It's already been found, per DR's post. Now we need to know where that is.

'That' isn't in the same place as 'it'? Neither here nor there?

What is the meaning of that's neither here nor there?

1. Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat

The cat is both here and not here, while simultaneously being neither here, nor there. The cat cannot be nowhere, yet the cat is not everywhere. However, it may be anywhere, but it can only be somewhere. So, where is it?
"C'mon, just give up, already! You've been looking for that thing for hours! You might as well be looking for Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat!"

"But it has to be here. I've already looked everywhere, and I haven't found it anywhere. Perhaps if I start looking nowhere, I may end up finding it somewhere!"

If it is neither here nor there, it is, most likely in transit. If it doesn't show up here or there in the next 20 business days, it is most likely lost which means, even though it is not here nor there, it could be ANYWHERE else besides here or there.

You're welcome.

It may be neither here nor there, but someone is thankful you don't have it!

It depends...
