[DU] Utili-Bot disappeared after breaking in rain

So I had my sim make a Utili-Bot (Declan) quite a while ago, and he worked just fine until he didn't. Basically, he wandered out in the rain, so I had my sim turn him off and go out to put him in her inventory. He turned off, sank towards the ground, my sim went up to grab him, and... gone. Not in any of my sim's inventories, not in the household inventory, I have SCOURED the lot to try and find him to no avail, including saving it to my gallery and searching for him in a new save. No sign of him. The weirdest part is that, when clicking on the robotics workstation to try and upgrade my other Utili-Bot, he's still listed, but my sim waves like she can't reach him (pictured).
