I left something (breadbox-sized) on top of the trunk of my car and forgot about it when driving to work. Now it's gone. Is there any way to tell where it was most likely to fall off based on sharpness of turns, highway speed, hills, etc.? We searched within half a mile of the house with no luck.

PhysicsFilter: Suppose I'm looking straight ahead at somebody's head, but can't see their eyes because they are obstructed by a wall or railing. Under what physical circumstances can that person see my eyes? Assume that there are no mirrors, cameras, or other visual trickery. Also assume that both people are sitting on chairs at floor level, though they may be of different heights.
