I saw this sentence :
孩子们丢的东西都找到了
Why is the object (丢的东西) placed between the subject and the verb here???

孩子们丢的东西都找到了
The object is "东西"
东西都(被)找到了 - things have all been found (被 omitted)
孩子们丢的 is an adjective phrase that describes the object
"things? what things?"
"Things that was lost by the kids" (孩子们丢的)
you can use 的 to turn any sentence into an adjective phrase
Example:
美国进口 - American import
美国进口的 - that is American imported
美国进口的牛肉 - beef that is American imported
Thank you! Anyway, I want to ask one more question :) why does the sentence use 到 instead of 着 as a resultative as a resultative complement here? This sentence appeared as an example sentence for resultative "着", but instead of using "着", it uses "到"...

@Agnes 着 is a verb particle that indicates the verb is in 'on going or continuous state'; 到 as a resultative complement indicates the verb is 'successfully carried out'
