Well, knowing that, if I was hiding a coin in your house, I'd make sure to disturb the dust and leave marks on the screws in as many places as possible. And I assume you would do the same if it was you hiding the coin.
Sure, but that would be way too much work. It would take you almost as much time to hide the coin as it would take me to find it. That violates the virtue of laziness.
