Missing the accent turns the word into a relative pronoun, not a question word.

Cultural Tip
In Spanish the informal second‑person form *encuentras* is used with friends, family, or peers. In a formal setting you would say *¿Dónde encuentra usted objetos?* Also, remember that the accent on *¿Dónde* is mandatory; omitting it changes the meaning to the relative pronoun 'where' (without a question).
