Disappeared as transitive

[Benjamin Torbert]

We use disappear as transitive all the time in my family to

a) Express getting some crap out of my mother's house that she doesn't know
about the disappearance of

or

b) Hiding some potentially negative influence on my 3yo son.  Such as
refined flour or refined sugar.  "I disappeared the lillipops."

Whether we borrowed this usage from Argentina, I'm not sure.  Sounds
plausible.
