A conspicuous possession, often a piece of clothing, jewelry, or other personal effect, which becomes significant when its owner disappears and only the object is left behind. It is a type of Chekhov's Gun, and may be a Memento MacGuffin. The object is often found on the ground, and if it is something the character would not have left behind on purpose this implies the character was abducted or worse.
It may give a clue to the direction or path to find the person such as a Trail of Bread Crumbs. If the person drowned, it can be a Dead Hat Shot. One form may also be Empty Piles of Clothing.
Compare The Girl Who Fits This Slipper and Returning the Handkerchief. A common element of the Cinderella Plot.

In Into the Woods, Cinderella leaves one of her golden slippers stuck on the steps of the palace as a clue for her Prince, before swapping shoes with the Baker's Wife. Later Cinderella's Prince seeks the girl who fits the slipper, and the desperate stepsisters mutilate their feet in an attempt to make it fit. Cinderella succeeds and becomes his bride.

In Inglourious Basterds after the Basterds fight at the tavern, Colonel Hans Landa finds a high-heeled shoe. Later at the movie premier, Landa notices Bridget Von Hammersmark with a leg in plaster and easily spots her companions as Americans. For extra irony, he even forces her to put the high-heel on, just to rub it in that he knows.

In Milo Murphy's Law, the school dance that Amanda organized has problem after problem, largely due to Milo's presence. When the electricity goes out he quickly fixes the decorations before going to the circuit breaker (naturally, he was carrying night-vision goggles). In the process he loses a shoe. When Amanda sees everything fixed she finds the shoe and, wanting to thank "her hero," goes looking for whomever is missing one.

In Amélie, the titular heroine has a Love at First Sight moment when bumping into Nino at a Parisian subway station. He doesn't notice her at all and quickly rides off with his scooter. However, a photo album falls off when he takes a sharp corner and Amelie picks it up. It helps her to get in contact with Nino, who, after noticing his loss, leaves stickers around the station with his phone number.

A Song of Ice and Fire: In the Knight of the Laughing Tree tale, the knight mysteriously disappears as the king declares him his enemy and sends the Dragon Prince to find him. He could find only his shield. Although it's entirely possible that the prince covered up his identity and lied for some reason...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: When Rohan accidentally triggers Bites The Dust, his unique fountain-pen earring falls off during the first round of explosions, so it stays behind when he's destroyed completely. When the other main characters arrive a few minutes later, they muse about how Rohan is uncharacteristically late, and Jotaro notices and picks up the earring. Unfortunately, he doesn't fully realize what it means before they all trigger Bites The Dust a second time, taking them all out in one explosion.

Parodied in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic during "The Best Night Ever." Rarity hopes to catch the eye of Princess Celestia's nephew, Prince Blueblood. Unfortunately, Blueblood turns out to be a Prince Charmless, to the degree that when Rarity leaves behind a glass slipper and Pinkie Pie lampshades this trope, Rarity smashes the slipper herself to make sure Blueblood never finds her.

A Cinderella Story, a High School AU adaptation, has a mobile phone instead of the eponymous slipper, though oddly enough the movie skips the expected payoff. The phone is locked, other girls claiming to be "Cinderella" don't know the password...and then Sam's identity is revealed by the evil stepsisters and the Alpha Bitch to embarrass her. The cell phone winds up being irrelevant.
