I wonder what drives it. Is is hiding or just moving? Does he say? Maybe you could set up a safe place for him to "hide" things. At least you would know where they were.
I doubt that this is anything that you are going to change so do what ever makes it easier for you.

Hiding things was one of my Dad's behaviors. He knew things were missing, but had no recollection of why or where they were. Seldom found in the same place twice.
Best suggestion is to keep important items such as jewelry, documents, etch. in a secure location so they don't go missing.
You might also want to do a quick search of trash in household trash cans before dumping.

My wife is both restless and has sticky fingers. It makes for perpetual easter egg hunts. She is constantly gathering, stacking, stowing, and putting things where she thinks they belong. That place changes from day to day. Right now the TV remote is MIA. I asked her did you see the remote ? Without hesitation her response is "I didn't take it." I know most of her hiding places I just get too lazy to go through the drill for zillionth time, so I just yield to the universe and watch whatever is on. She obsesses over her phone and loses that by the second. She is confusing the remote with her phone lately so that give me some clues for today's hunt. Just another day in the life.0

My SO has severe short-term memory loss, cannot remember where to find things, and often puts them in the wrong place, but she is not really trying to hide them. If your husband has memory loss, consider that it could be the cause of him "hiding" some things.0

I got tired of chasing the remote...it now has a silicone case with an airtag stuck in it.
