I just realized the example might have had a typo like you said. It is an interesting typo since it reminded me of a similarly absurd expression in English. When the expression is used in English, the entire point is to be nonsensical such that the only resolution is that someone moved/stole something.
As I am still learning, I have been trying to be open minded about possibilities. That helps when encountering things like 風邪です and 空気がおいしい. The former as you know literally means wind, but also can mean having a cold (and it would be very socially awkward if someone’s name was 風邪). The latter literally calls the air tasty, but means the air is fresh. The downside of being open minded is that someone can tell me something wrong and I will try to interpret it under the assumption that it is correct.
