It's not likely that Mundungus has the Locket since it was thrown in
the garbage and I don't think Mundungus was around at the time.
However, we know that Kreacher was lurking about with the specific
intent of salvaging items. So, I'm betting Kreacher removed it from
the trash and added it to his little horde.

That makes me wonder how Harry will ever find it. Kreacher doesn't
seem very cooperative, and is unlikely to voluntee the information. I
can't help but wonder what circumstance will occur in which Kreacher
will give Harry the information he needs.

Here is a question that I'm sure we CAN'T answer but it would be good
to know. What happened to the objects from the Black house that were
thrown away? Were they taken out back and vansihed? Were they set on
the curb for the trashman to pick up? Are they just lying in a big
pile behind the house? 

If they were vanished, can they be un-vanished? We see Bill 'vanish' a
lot of maps and documents in the beginning of OotP when Harry enters
the kitchen after the Order's meeting. Certainly, he would not want to
permanently vanish those documents. Of course, the fact that the
documents vanished doesn't necessarily mean they were 'vanished'. 

I wonder what Harry will do about Mundungus stealing from Sirius's
house? I hope he forces Mundungus to go find every object and bring it
back.

I was also very disappoint that Sirius's purge of the house was so
ruthless. First many of the object he so uncerimoniously threw away
were valuable, both in cash value and in historic value. I suspect at
some point Harry will very much regret that those objects aren't
around as reminders of Sirius and his family history.

Just a few thoughts.
