If it could be shown clearly to be down to negligence or carelessness section 19 of the conduct code would apply,
19 LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
All losses of property (including cash or valuables) or damage to official property must be reported to the manager. Where loss or damage is clearly attributable to negligence or carelessness, or is deliberate, disciplinary action may be taken.

Nearly lost mine today, left it on a handy post next to someone's door while I wrote out a P739, got back in the van and left it, got back to the office about 10 mins later and was like, ut-oh!! Luckily went back and it was still there.
