Something is oddly off and I’m expressing emotional state of curiosity and/or mild discontent: “So …”
It is not where it should be, but I do indeed know where the place it should be is: reference to its place.
Here’s your equivalent question in English:
Actually this could be shorter:
This phrase “has gotten to” vaguely refers to a child or animal that is missing; and the missing implies it has a known home location.
Ooh ooh! Even shorter:
“went” implies that I know it has moved, ie that I knew where it was, and know it’s not there right now.
Referencing a specific location can either mean “I saw it somewhere once” or it can mean “I know its home location”, and the first use case doesn’t make sense per theory of mind because if you saw it in a random place others wouldn’t know where that place is.
The cutting board seems to have vanished!
Send it back, Picard!
