To be fair, how often are you paying attention to the status of a friends watch on their wrist when together. Then add a load of gargle into the mix.
In a similar vein, I know of at least half a dozen instances where (myself included) mates have locked a bike somewhere pissed, gone drinking some more, and returned to where they think they locked their bike. Cue whatsapp chaos stating bike is robbed, only to stumble across it inoccuously a few days later, at the location it was actually locked.
Here's hoping this guy shoved it in a random drawer at home or similar when he got home and forgot about it.
Asked his friends ?
