Not in the pocket of that suit Phil wore to Karen and Jemima's wedding that he had to put into the dry cleaners because Seumas spilled a bottle of absinthe over?

That time Phil took the recycling down to the recycling bin, and someone phoned him, and he had to get his phone out and he pulled his wallet out first and he was holding the bottle of Smirnoff ready to drop it into the clear glass bin...He couldn't have, could he?
