I don't know if I'm the only one who thought about this but; what if Newt just forgets that he's put his wand between his teeth or perched on his ear like one would do with a pen or a pencil. I imagine he doesn't hold it to the same regard as his suitcase, it's still up there, but if it was a choice between his case and his wand, the cse will always win.
He's tending to his creatures and the hours start blurring together and he just forgets where he put it. When he finally emerges from his case and reaches for his wand that isn't in it's usual place he just does what most people would do and retraces his steps, only to find himself still wandless. He goes around MACUSA and asks if anyone's seen his wand and everyone responds 'no' (think of those situations where people put their glasses on top of their head and forget that they've done it, no one notices/ignores it because they don't see it or they think they're being punked).
Everyone except Graves who is observing the whole thing with a look of disbelief because, wtf, how did any of you become aurors with your atrocious observation skills?
I think about this a lot more than I'd like to admit...
