Of course they can - anyone who ever washed socks in a washing machine can tell you that...

And bathrooms seem to be a particularly dangerous
area!
Seriously, though... I don't know whether it's slipping into another dimension or not, but I've had incidents like that happen to me many times. I
call them the "black holes". Most things eventually reappear - usually in a place that has been thoroughly searched many times before - which only
makes it stranger.
I am not sure it has to do with attention, as some like to interpret this very common type of occurrence. I know I have a lynx's eye and I am usually
well aware of every movement I make - and yet...
Yeah - it's gotta be a black hole. ; )
I don't know whether you're familiar with it, but here's a website that has many incidents like that:
Reality Shifters
and here:
Where have all the pretty socks gone?
It's often great fun to read.
