Voldemort's Wand

I have also wondered what happened with Voldemort's
wand between the failed AK and GoF and have had a new
thought.

Back when Lily and James decided to make Peter their
secret-keeper, they must also have chosen a place to
go into hiding *without telling anyone* but Peter or
there would have been no point to the Fidelius Charm. 
Sirius said in the Shrieking Shack that he figured V
would come after him, so the only safe thing would be
*not* to know.  Either that, or the Fidelius magically
makes everyone but the Secret Keeper forget the
secret.

Therefore, I think that, after V attempted the AK on
Harry, Pettigrew himself was the first one on the
scene, since he was the only one who knew where to go.
Perhaps Voldemort had failed to show up somewhere he
was expected, and Pettigrew went to the Potters' to
see what was up.  I don't think he could actually see
V in his less-than-spirit mode (i.e., V is and
invisible entity, not the misty thing in TMTSNBM so
viewers can see where he is), but when he saw Harry
alive, he panicked.  I imagine he spotted the wand
nearby and panicked more, but he picked it up and went
and hid out until he could formulate his plan to stash
V's wand somewhere, frame Sirius, and fake his own
death.  Then, after making his escape in PoA, he
retrieved it before making his way to Albania.  As a
side thought, I suppose he would have had to abandon
his own wand on the blown-up street when he escaped. 
Maybe if he has a wand in GoF, it's Bertha Jorkins'?
