Well, guess what i got for Valentine's Day? I awoke to an empty tank on my little nutmeg female. I had forgotten to secure the tank lid, and, you know the rest of the story. 
I wasn't really too worried since I have had gerbils escape before...my original pair (back in, oh, 1990 or so) escaped and I found them in a large nest they had created in my closet about a day later. So, I figured she would turn up pretty soon in a dark hidey place. Well, about noon that day, we were about to leave and I heard scratching noises in our bedroom. My husband and I both froze and immediately sealed off the room.
Well, there behind my nightstand was a huge nest made out of Kleenex tissues and my gerbil right in the middle of it all. Lol. It took a little while to catch her; she would run under our bed then under the nightstand again, and I would be laughing so hard, my glasses kept falling off. Anyway, she's back again SECURED and none the worse for wear! ;D
