Missing assets could also be considered as assets that are down, so maybe you could customize your system to flag them as decommissioned with a flag that they have have gone missing or lost..
I wonder if it will be a practical idea to post a bulletin about that missing asset to the employees with a possible reward for finding it just in case it is genuinely 'lost' as a result of it being either moved physically from a department or cubicle to another, in the intent for it to be a temporary move, but then never returned to its original location.. I remember I had once borrowed an external monitor for my laptop, that went mysteriously missing from the desk I used to sit on after I was on a weeks vacation. I can bet it wasn't stolen, just borrowed, permanently, with a no return policy . Like they do to cars in New York city..

We have Status Codes for Missing and for Stolen. Generally, we will have a police report for stolen and that can be scanned and placed in an attachment field for that asset. This also helps when auditors are examining the records. For Missing, I have created a filter which triggers whenever someone (other than AR_ESCALATOR) modifies a record listed as missing (Status Code is Missing) and alerts/emails our central assets custodian of who modified the record. That property custodian can follow-up with the person updating the record and determine if the item has been located.

Our folks just did a physical inventory and there are some assets that are missing. They are asking for a status reason on "Missing" for the status of "Deployed". Seems sensible enough to me, but I was wondering how other folks handle that situation.
