Unless you have added a reference to the collection to your object and update it whenever you add or remove it from a collection, there is no easy way to tell.

You can check the possible collections to see if they contain an object using the Contains method, but there is no automatic back reference from an object to a collection, except in special cases like the TreeView where it is specifically added.
